This photo was taken last week when our friends came to visit with their baby, G. This baby means a lot to us, for many reasons, one of which is that his name rhymes with Cayden's, intentionally. To have Cayden honored through this baby's name was the biggest gift we have been given. To know that when people ask this baby, as a little boy, as an adult, where he got his name, Cayden's name will be mentioned, is such a comfort and a blessing.
Watching Scott with G. was amazing. And it broke my heart. Seeing this radiant smile, knowing that Cayden will never be able to gaze up at it, will never be held in his daddy's arms again, breaks me. I miss a lot about Cayden, but I especially miss seeing him with Scott. This Sunday will be a hard day.

oh my, how sweet and heartbreaking. but that's just amazing that you have these friends with you, to help share your story and honor cayden. i hope they know how special they are, to be able to stand with you in this way, at this time.
yeah, sunday is going to suck. i have this clear, clear memory of brian singing to our baby in the hospital and it hurts so much not to be able to take away his pain. he would have been such a good daddy.
hugs to you!
What a great way to honor Cayden. You are blessed to have such sweet friends.
I'll be thinking about Scott,you, and Cayden on Sunday.

They often say you can judge people by the friends they surround themselves with - the fact that your friends gave such an amazing lifelong gift speaks. Highly not only of them but of you too! Hope you guys felt the love sent your way today!!! Thinking you...xoxo

I hope you guys had a nice Father's Day. We managed to have a nice day - I was sad, but not overwhelmingly sad. The pictures I have of Leah with her daddy are some of my favorites, because I was surprised by the instant bond they formed. I thought for sure he'd be one of those dads who took a while to bond.
Those are some amazing friends :) What a special gift, to know Cayden will be thought of and spoke throughout this boy's life.
Lots of love to your whole family Paige.
Such a gift.
Paige, my love to you on this road.
Missing him with you x
Hi Paige, I am thinking of you today! You are an amazing woman. Your gift of writing and sharing what you are feeling in the moment is inspiring. It reminds me to reach out to people around me. it reminds me that life is better when we are connected on a real level.
My thoughts and support to you and your family.
with love,
