Happy Birthday

Today would have been Sawyer’s first birthday. Or, more accurately it is his first birthday but he is not here to sing to and hug. I have so many unanswered questions.
-
Would he have blue or brown eyes?
-
What would he look like now?
-
Would he have been walking?
-
What would have been his first word?
-
Would he throw his cake on the floor like his brother? Or, would he dive right into it like his sister?
-
Why did Sawyer have to leave us so soon?
I will never know. These and so many other questions will remain unanswered.
However, I do know that I will always love and miss him.
Sawyer, somehow I hope you know how much you are loved and missed.
Happy Birthday sweet baby boy.
- Sawyer
P.S. I do hope one day the results from the Mayo clinic study will help me to better understand at least medically why Sawyer died.

A Mourning Mom 
Thought of you all as soon as I woke up this morning. In fact, have had you in my thoughts and prayers especially these last few days. Today is the day you were able to meet this beautiful baby boy, and each one of these next few days are the days you were able to hold him here. Sending you all love….

Thinking of you my dear friend. Happy Birthday dear Sawyer. Remember…
“smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my
name be ever the household word it
always was. Let it be spoken without
effect, without the ghost of a shadow
on it. Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is
absolutely unbroken continuity. Why
should I be out of mind because I am
out of sight? I am waiting for you, for
an interval, somewhere very near just
around the corner…All is well.” -H. Holland
With all my love to all of you. Amy
