6 Months
Yesterday should have been Julian's "half-birthday". I figured out why the six month point is so hard, at least for me. At this point, the amount of time I knew Julian is equal to the amount of time that has passed since he died. Sure, I was pregnant for nine months, but I didn't see or feel him until after the first trimester. I first saw his face and little hands and feet during an ultrasound in January, and I started to show and feel him move a few weeks later. No matter how many photos I look at or how much time I spend thinking about him, I know the memories of those short six months with him will warp and fade as time goes on. But, they are all I have of my dear son, so I will continue to revisit those precious memories, and savor them.

Devon's half birthday would've been on February 19, and I've been struggling with that big milestone. It's hard to believe that it's been almost six months since I had to say good bye. Time flies, but also goes by so slowly. Lots of hugs to you.
