Just realized...

Emmalynn shares a birthday with BD & I's mutual friend (Chris) who died in high school. This is beyond crazy. I wish I could explain how much/what this means.

BD was best friends with Chris and they grew up together. VERY CLOSE. I got to know Chris in 10th grade (when he was suffering with depression) but knew of him in 9th grade bc we shared mutual friends. We had class together in 10th grade and passed notes, joked around, and I guess I sort of developed a little crush on him (everyone did). He was a star football player, dating a cheerleader who hated my guts. (Looking back now I have no idea why) Anyway, when he was in the hospital for "the flu" and came back with his arm wrapped up, we didn't question it (he was cutting himself). One of the most impactful moments of my life was when he asked me for a hug when he came back from being gone. We chatted it up and he seemed so happy to be back. Shortly after, he hung himself. Our entire school was DEVASTATED...and his entire close group of friends, including BD, became a massive, hot, mess. His viewing was crazy. His funeral was crazy. All of it was crazy. We carried it all with us throughout the rest of high school and some of us still to this day.

Anyway, one day I went to his gravesite and asked him to watch over me and bring me a good guy someday. (Well, that didn't exactly come true but still I can't help but feel like he orchestrated BD & I) That year I also was suicidal and when I thought I was ready to end it all, something came over me and I felt big arms wrapped around me which I felt were Chris...his way of telling me not to. 

So...needless to say Chris played a big role in our lives before BD & I were together and after. I couldn't remember if Chris' bday was Feb 2nd or Feb 3rd, but to me...it's just beyond crazy that Emmalynn was born on his birthday. I know this story might sound stupid or like I'm a lunatic but I had to share since I just realized it after going to his memorial website and verifying the date. Of all the days of the year, it had to be on his birthday. I mean, are we supposed to really believe this stuff is just coincidence?

I hear you on this so much. I went into labor/was induced (I had a scheduled induction due to preeclampsia but I went into labor earlier that day so they both kinda happened at the same time) with DD three years to the day as the date XH's best childhood friend died in a freak accident. She was born the next night (on her due date). XH hurt so much over the death of his friend, so it was like bringing something beautiful to remember on what was such a sad day.

I'm still pretty sad about my grandma that passed away in October. I feel like she's here sometimes. Like when Harley's toys make noises without anyone touching them or being near them. Or when Harley looks at a fixed point and starts to laugh. I miss my grandma.

Hugs to both of you. I can't begin to think about all the family I lost and what their reactions would be to LO. Death sucks man.
