ELEVEN months | eleven months missing you, but eleven months closer to seeing you again. It's been over a week since the eleventh month mark and I can't believe we are almost to your birthday. I keep thinking about this past year and all we've had to overcome without you. Most days I still have no idea how we've even made it this far, but I do know it's you as our angel in heaven and the angels here on earth that have been there for us that have helped us stand when we feel so weak.
This month we had the best surprise come from the incredible @Sarahdandelioncray. Her amazing company @letsgomakeart dedicates one of their weekly paint alongs to someone who could use some joy. It's nearly been a year but she saw the opportunity to lift us (just like many others) because their is no expiration on grief. There is no timeline that someone should get over this. I started putting this weight on myself thinking I needed to come back to Utah with the grief gone and this was a beautiful reminder that it's okay. It's never going to be perfect until we have you in our arms again but we will keep finding ways to push forward and look for beautiful flowers.
Thank you @letsgomakeart for teaching others to paint and bring joy to others through art. The Poppy and Primrose flowers painted together was such a tender and thoughtful idea as I long for my girls to be together.

TEN months | ten months missing you, but ten months closer to seeing you again.
This post has taken way too long to write as we have hit lots of milestones and moments that have left me with no words. But around the 24th (of May) last year we found out you were a beautiful baby girl. We came directly from the appointment to this exact spot to announce our over the moon excitement. My heart was (and is still) so proud to be a girl mom. Your sister talks so highly of you and I desperately wish you were here for her to take care of, but she is doing a great job taking care of me and daddy when we are having a hard time by always being the first to remind us that Families are Forever and point out beautiful flowers "just like Primrose!" We spent the day playing, talking, and honoring you in anyway we could think of.
We miss you and love you so much sweet girl! Stay close to us darling
