Matthew's Pictures

Three Years Later

It has been over two years since I have really visited my blog. I just felt like it was time to post SOMETHING. Matthew would have been 3 1/2 years old now. I feels strange, yet comfortable, to be here on Blogger. It's like having a special memory at a place, and going back and re-visiting years later. Those memories feel so fresh but are also so far away. I have been recovering well in my grief. I will never be the same person I was before, and have not yet had any more children. Being able to help other moms is such a great outlet for me. The non-profit that I started in his memory, Cherishing the Journey (www.cherishingthejourney.org), is thriving very well. We are donating memory boxes to six hospitals now, are partnered with an ultrasound company that provides free 4d ultrasounds to moms who are carrying to term, have a Mommy Match program, and more. I would have never thought all of this would have happened four years ago. I was just going day-by-day. We are having our 2nd Annual Walk to Remember on Florida's east coast this month, and I am excited to continue to be a resource for those in our area. Until next time, Jennifer

Awe, what a blessing this post was for me! It was so nice to read about how you and your sweet family are doing!!

Like you, I haven't blogged in years. Liberty's angelversary is quickly approaching this month and I have thought about blogging - not sure if I will get to it or not? I kind of take life day to day in October. It's hard to believe it will be 5 years since we said goodbye to Liberty...

I was happy to read that you are doing well in your grief and wow, what a blessing you are to others who are facing similar heartache! Way to go mama! I know your sweet boy is so proud of you!

Praying for peace and comfort to continue on inside your heart!

Love and hugs,
Kelly
