Today was a bit of a tough day. It didn't feel extraordinary or overwhelming, it just felt a bit like what the weather looked like this morning. I woke up to the sunshine streaming thru my bedroom door window, clean and clear, a simple statement that today had begun. It was beautiful and bright - and then, before I realized it, as I went about the routine tasks at the begining of a new day, a light mist crept in, gentle yet persistant. I looked about and realized my bright morning had changed without my witness. The fog had hid the sun and almost made me forget that the morning had been so warm and full of light.
She would have been 1 year old today. Our little angel, Felicity Marie.
Deep breath. I miss her. I miss the things I would have had to have been doing in addition to everything else to care for a baby. But instead, she is working hard and watching over me, and you... watching over us. Healthy and whole and happy.
The mist lifts and I see the sun again...

Anna, I feel your pain. You are amazing to have come this far, and this good. May the sun come and brighten each and every day for you, after the clouds pass. There will be clouds...but there is always sun.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE FELICITY!
Oh, Anna...Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. It is a very special mother that can experience what you have with such grace. I admire you for that.
Anna, I admire you and your family so much! Happy Birthday wishes to the sweet angel too!
Hi Anna- Our family is thinking about you and yours during this difficult time. I admire your strength and courage. Happy Birthday to sweet Felicity. ~Cheralyn
I'm very hesitantly awaiting the same milestone. I know you are a strong lady, I see it all the time, but some days are just sad. Period.
Beautiful and tender entry Anna. I am so grateful you shared this with us. Every day you will remember and cherish your angel as she waits and watches over you and her precious family. HAppy Birthday! Take care.
Much Love, Katie
