Happy Easter
Happy Easter! Today was a nice day. Nate and I went out with friends last night and left Makayla with my mom. It was the first time we had left her with someone else for more than a hour and it was a little difficult. I know how lucky I am to have her and I don't want to let her out of my sight.
Well we are now going through the second set of holidays without Gabe and its a bit depressing. I think of what he would be doing and wonder what he would look like right now. I think about all the things I want to buy for him but can't. All the holiday traditions I want to share with him. I can't pretend the holidays aren't going on anymore, I have to learn to celebrate them without him. Our perfect little family forever missing one.

Keeping Busy
We have continued to keep busy visiting with family and friends and showing off our little princess. This week we took Makayla to get her pictures taken. It took a lot of time and effort, she was a bit fussy, but in the end they captured some great moments-I can't wait to get them back! We picked up our birth announcements today and will start sending them out this week-one more thing to do on our ever growing list!
Today we took a trip up to Boston to visit with some of the nurses that took care of Gabe at Mass General Hospital. We brought up the CHERUBS information packets so that they can start giving them to parents. We brought Makayla and as always she was the center of attention
Life is good, and I know how lucky I am to have my beautiful daughter, but I miss my boy more now than ever. I can't help but feel our family will never be complete with him gone. All the great family pictures we had taken- they are all missing him... I know he is watching over his little sister, but I want him here with us. There will always be something missing-and I hate it. I hate that Makayla will never really know her big brother. Looking at her I can see a resemblance in her eyes and it makes me think of all the things missed. All the things so many take for granted. If I learned anything from Gabe its to treasure every day I have with Makayla, every little moment.
Mommy loves you and misses you Gabe!
