Today I am thinking deeply of Silas Orion and of his parents, Lani and Chris. Lani was one of the first babylost mamas I encountered on this journey and she has been and continues to be an incredible support to me. Chris' writings as a babylost dad help me understand a daddy's perspective and I'll be forever grateful to him for sharing his innermost thoughts and feelings about his firstborn son.
In my mind, most babies are pretty, even the scrunched up, old man looking ones. But Silas is truly gorgeous in a way that few babies are. How I wish he were a toddling one year old, celebrating his first birthday and bouncing in his parents' arms. How I wish I'd never had to meet his amazing parents in this way. Chris and Lani, I'm sending you so much love and remembering and loving Silas today each time I look at the bunch of sunflowers on my shelf. They reach with longing for the sun, as I long with you for your baby boy.
