A Golden Birthday

7 months will never have been enough.

I hate that we celebrate your birthdays without you. I hate that death stole you from us. But I love that you have captured the hearts of thousands of people. I love that your story has saved other babies. I love that you have lead me to some of the best people I know. I love that you sent us two more beautiful babies for your brother to grow up with. I love that you have continued to shine your light on our world, and shown up for us in the moments we’ve needed it most.

Thank you for giving us the gift of knowing your soul, and trusting us to honor it.
