Others Don't Decide

The more time that passes, the more comfortably I can rest in the knowledge that Lily's life is not important based on whether or not others think it is.

The depth of my love and missing is not measured by what others think it should or shouldn't be. Nobody gets to determine that for me based on their preconceived ideas and experience or lack thereof.

Wow what a relief/comfort/freedom comes when we who have lost our babies realize and embrace this truth.

No matter the hurtful and insensitive things people say to or about us and our grief/little ones, they do not get to dictate our love. They don't decide the validity of our grief/feelings/motherhood. ðŸ’•

Aunt Rachel's 48th Birthday in Heaven

My Aunt Rachel would be turning 48 today, if she were alive. She and Lily will forever be the babies of my family.

You can read about her life and what she means to me in a post I wrote on her birthday last year.

I'm sure Jesus, Lily, and "Bumpa" are making today truly special for her birthday celebration in Heaven. ♥

Does anyone else have other babies in their families who are also in Heaven?
