POSTCARDS FROM HEAVEN

 


April 2, 2022
Today was Lassen’s original due date 2 years ago! He surprised us and showed up 3 weeks early. We went to a nursery today and started getting some ideas of plants and landscaping for our house and for Brighton.

Tonight, I was reading this book with Lassen called “It’s a Moose” and the human mom has a baby that turns out to be a moose. Eventually, they have to take the baby to the woods and set it free so that it is happy. They ask him to write a postcard and eventually he sent one that said:
“Dear everyone,
Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here.
Love, XX”

I teared up reading this as I think of Brighton writing us a postcard from Heaven. I will yearn for Heaven even more so that I can see him too. But for now, I will keep enjoying my growing belly and his powerful kicks.



Lass is always talking to his baby :)

I can’t believe it’s already been five months since we found out the life changing news about Brighton. I was so happy that it was a beautiful day and we were outside all day long! We went to McCormick’s Creek and hiked to Wolf Cave. Lassen fell asleep in the pack, the breeze was amazing, the sun was shining and warm, and Brighton was happy and moving. Doing what we love as a family of four. We met up with two of Kyle’s best friends, their wives, and kids and had a picnic lunch, followed by hiking trail 3. It went along the creek and then you climb up and over rocks and trees and cross the creek several times. My friend tried to get out of the hike and use my pregnant belly as her excuse that I needed to rest haha. Joke’s on her. It was so nice to be with friends, doing something we all loved, much like a very normal day.
