Your Absence Haunts Me

Your Absence Haunts Me Happy 14th birthday to my baby boy up in heaven. Birthdays are a celebration of a person's life. Does that mean we stop celebrating the life they lived just because they're gone? Not in my house.

Good morning, all. Today is my little man’s birthday. Normally a joyous occasion, this celebration tears my heart apart every year. The reason for this sadness is that my little Israel has spent the last 12 years in heaven.

Missing you so much @still_dreams. 2 and a half years. #losingachild #grief There are days when I'm okay, and then it hits me like a ton of bricks.
