It Shouldn’t Be This Way

762

Today was “fun”… part way through Christmas shopping at Target I broke. I was near the back of the store and tears just began streaming down my face. Afraid I couldn’t get to the restrooms at the front without making a scene, I found a corner and hid as I waited for the wave of sadness to pass.

I shouldn’t be buying presents for just one son.

I stand there staring at things my Tanner loved. I have to hold them. I have to touch them. And then, with tears, I have to put them back. My heart is aching for the baby I lost.

To echo what Trav recently said: This is hard.

It is so very, very hard.

I love you, my baby in Heaven.

My name is Romney and I am the mom of two amazing adopted boys: one who lives with me at home and one who lives in Heaven. I became an Angel Mom on April 11, 2017 when Tanner was called home to be with Jesus. It's my prayer that sharing my experiences can help others. xo
