Father's Day

     Last year on Father's Day Michael and I went to my parents house and announced at a family BBQ that we were expecting our first baby. I gave Michael a watch for all the time he'd be spending with his first child, and I gave my Dad a Grandpa shirt.  We wore shirts that said I'm Going to be a  Mommy! and I'm Going to be a Daddy!  We were so excited to be expecting a Valentine's Day baby and to finally be announcing the first grand child.  Sadly, one short month later a routine ultrasound showed that little LoveBug's heart had stopped beating.

     This year on Father's Day Michael and I skipped the family BBQ and mourned the loss of our three precious babies, born a week ago.  I had planned to get him a gift from the kids, but I never got the chance.  However, a few days ago the card I ordered him came in. It doesn't really fit now, but I decided to give it to him anyways. 


The inside says:  Hope you have a great Father's Day!  Mommy has been telling us so many great things about you and we can't wait to spend next Father's Day with you, our Daddy!

I have to admit, I'm really not looking forward to next year's Father's Day, or Mother's Day.

    I think it still does fit. He is their father and I bet they are still wishing him a Happy Father's day.

    You said you don't want anyone to ever forget Ryker, Tommy and MaryElizabeth. This is a beautiful way to remember them. And though Fathers Day and Mothers Day will always be hard days for you, you can also use them as special days to remember all your babies xx

    That is a beautiful card. Don't worry, your three precious angels are still wishing Michael a happy Father's Day. Ryker, Tommy and MaryElizabeth will always be looking over you both. I love you.
