About LinkBacksIt's been quite sometime since I have visited FT. Today I should be celebrating my daughter's 3rd birthday. I think back to where I was at 3 years ago- it was such a bad place. To lose my first born child... my sweet little girl- for the longest time I didn't think I could carry on. But look at me. I am still here. The pain is still there- but I have learned how to live with it. I sit here today mourning the loss of my daughter who was stillborn at 40 weeks- and the dreams that I had for her- but at the same time feeling so very blessed that I have been fortunate enough to have two absolutely amazing, beautiful children to hold in my arms- to keep me moving forward. My son Noah is now 18 months old, and my daughter Kaelin is 4 and 1/2 months old. As I sat here today missing my little Emily, wondering who she would be today, what she would be doing, who she would look like... I had to take a moment to not only remember what I have lost- but also what I have been given- and that is three special children. Though my sweet Emmie is no longer with us- we keep her alive forever in our hearts
