Just when you think it's getting easier...

...it gets worse.

Kids come unglued from time to time, I get that. It's what they do. Your kid has done it, you've done it, even your parents have done it. It's what happens when you can't put into words your frustrations at being a certain age/size/skill-level. What I don't get is why a parent hits them for it. In public. With a crowd watching.

Here we go...

My last blog didn't quite work out. So here's a new one, complete with more photos, and hopefully more text, both from Brian and from me.
S+S and their sons came over tonight. They've both grown so much; I feel old. It seems once you have kids, you're somehow marked--you will forever be linked to your kids growth as a meter to the passage of time. I still remember T as this little guy, now he wears a size 12 shoe. And N speaks in complete sentences. I am old.


We showed them photos of our beautiful son. I know they can be hard to look at, but they are all we have now. We only had five days with Burke. He would have been just over two months.
This ache of what we lost will never go away.
