Today, my invisible child would have turned 7.
He would have. If he wasn't dead, that is.
For 406 days he shared himself, full of grace, with mortals.
For 406 days, I was his mother.
Some days, it's easier to breathe than others. Some days I don't have to remind myself to draw another breath in, before exhaling everything I have, deflated like an empty shell.

You're still his mother.
Gwen-- big big hugs to you and your little ones. For sure next time I see you.
What a beautiful baby. I'm so sorry he's not still here with you, but he will always be in your heart. I can only imagine the heartbreak. :(
This will sound odd coming from me... but when I look at these pics I think "I've missed seeing his face". I remember reading all about him such a long time ago, and relating much to my experience with my Jordan. I looked at his pictures so much as I read your story.
He is absolutely beautiful. xxx
you will always be his mother.

Remembering your beautiful boy with you.
Beautiful baby. Gorgeous.
Sending you love, hon...
He's beautiful.
Love to you, mama. On this day and every day.
In his eyes, there are the memories of trees and sky. My heart quivered and overflowed, just sharing this moment with you- with him.
I can't explain- except to say, your pain is felt, your heart is heard.
Your writing is amazing. And Elijah was absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful. Just looking at him makes me smile. So sorry for your loss. I am a faithful reader who is in your corner.
