February's Strength

Today I am having a bad day. The kind of day that I had in February.

I am marveling at the strength I had back then to talk about how I was feeling.

Today I can't do it. Maybe tomorrow.

    Thinking of you and sending hugs. Have you checked your doorstep today? I hope it brought a bit of silliness and light into the cloudy day.

    I am so sorry Jordan. There is nothing else I can say but I am sorry, for everything you have been through and continue to go through. I hope you find strength in love and in Calder's beautiful little face.

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!

But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yesterday afternoon, Hugh and I made the hardest decision that any parent has to make.  We decided to let Tripp go. We got to hold our baby, rock our baby, sing to our baby, and be caregivers for our baby for 13 hours. At 6 am this morning he was welcomed into the arms of God.  We feel good knowing he will be looked over by my Grandpa Vince and Hugh's Grandma Margaret.
