Merry Christmas Brennan

Yesterday was Brennan's 1st Christmas. Our arms and hearts were full but there was a stocking hung with no eager fingers to open it and a candle lit at the breakfast table with no highchair in front of it.


We got Brennan and Kellan matching teddy bears for their 1st Christmases then in the afternoon we went out to see him, give him his new teddybear and have the brothers meet for the first time.


It was a very bittersweet day yesterday. Loving one....missing another...

Sweet Brennan - I can't stop thinking about you and your family today - You have touched many lives beyond our comprehension. I hope you're having a big birthday party up in Heaven today! What a happy reunion you will have with your mommy & daddy and baby Kellan one day - the ache for you to be here on earth will never go away, Little One.

Sending you sweet little baby smooches on your birthday,
Melissa
