I'm sure I'm not alone in this. The end of 2011 sucked BIG TIME for us- on Oct. 19 our 13 yo cat died, on Nov. 2 we lost our son and then on the 20th we discovered a leak into one of our walls that has caused massive damage to the front wall of our house. To say that when it rains it pours is an understatement.
And yet, I'm sad that 2011 is ending. Most of it was happy- our DD turned 2, I was pregnant w/ #2 and we had lots of fun and lots to look forward to. I'm sad that 2011 is over because it's the only year in which my son lived. We were never meant to meet him face to face in 2011.
2012 scares me.
Re: Feeling emotional about the end of the year
Oh my dear, new years and new months and new days are so so hard. It sometimes feels like you are leaving your little one behind but I promise you aren't.
He is going with you, he will live within your heart and memory forever. Every year that passes he will go with you because you could never never forget him.
Did you know that his name means gift from God? I don't know about you but true gifts that God has given me I hold with in me for my entire life. His spirit, his love, the very breath within my body. You LO was his gift. When all else is gone the love you have for him will always burn on.
No matter the date. 2012 will bring happiness and joy, sorrow and tears but it will not bring his absence. Life is only worth living if you leave an imprint on this world and your son's imprint is forever on your heart.
I love this!
Congrats to Heatherhah! Baby girl has finally arrived!
Congrats to my Labor Buddy SouthernBellaKS
I totally get this.
2011 was a total suck fest. It started with Adam dying, and it has been one horrible thing after another. I was anticipating it being over, but we stilll have so much going on and hanging over us. I'm scared for 2012, too. It seems like a continuation of crap, rather than the hope for new beginnings.
Aren't I just a ray of sunshine?
