Gideon


Rachele, when we were using the same due date club, neither of us could have envisioned that our paths would deviate so completely from everyone else on the same forum. My heart aches that anyone should have to live through this but I have been so grateful for your love and support on this journey.

Today I remember you and Garrin and, of course, Gideon. Happy birthday, sweet little boy.

Yes... That reminds me of my April '09 due date club that I was a very active member of.... Never would I have imagined as we chatted about our babies that the ending would turn out like it did... I felt so alone. So isolated. Like I was the first person in the world for this to happen to. It turned out that a short while later, another mama lost her first child, a daughter, to placental abruption - and needed an emergency hysterectomy because the bleeding was so bad.

Today I'll keep Gideon, and his family in my thoughts. Today also happens to be Thanksgiving up here in Canada, and I'm really feeling such a mixture of emotions...

Thanks, Jill. I'm sorry we're in this screwed up little club together, but I couldn't imagine it without your support and I'm thankful for your love and friendship. I've been thinking of you and Emma and your family, too.
