Yesterday our doctors gave us Alexander's birthday, October 20th. As painful it is to have a specific date, it feels good to know. It is heartbreaking to think we only have 4 more weeks with our son.
Alexander’s birthday is a week after mine and 2 weeks after my dad's. The doctors had no idea but his birthday is also sandwiched between both of my Grandfathers which is also very special to me.
After his birthday, if you feel inclined to send a card, I would rather a birthday card for Alexander than a sympathy card for me. In my heart I'd rather celebrate his life rather than the grief we will encounter. Please feel free to write directly to our little boy and send him your love. Through this journey knowing that he is loved by so many has meant so much to me.
