Day #26:  Their Age

No matter how you look at the numbers it doesn’t feel like long enough.

We hold our breath with each new baby until they reach “milestone” birthdays. Not your normal ones but ones that mean the world to us. Our first milestone is always 111 days old, then it is 4m when SIDS risk drops, 6m when SIDS risk drops again, and 1 year.

We would never give up the short time we shared with Clara and beautiful memories to not experience the pain of losing a child. We were extremely blessed to have the few months we did have with her and our memories of her are forever cherished in our hearts.
