We were told our child would die. And before she did, she would lose all muscle movement... except for one finger.

We were devastated. Crushed under the weight of helplessness. And then, within weeks, it all started to happen, loss after loss after loss. Near death emergencies. Turning blue. Saving her life. It made us cherish each knee wiggle, each shoulder shrug, each sweet cheeky smile... and the good days. Oh those good days became sustenance.

We learned to live with grief. With loss. With constant changes to our “new normal.” No “improvement” — and, yet, there was. Our ability to cope, to find joy in the midst of struggle, to live with uncertainty... got easier because we still had our magical little child in our arms.

And then we lost her. The inevitable blow. It knocked us down lower than we could begin to imagine. Our whole world. Gone.

We don’t move on from life's major experiences. We aren’t meant to. But we can keep moving.

We take the love and the heartbreak, and the joy and the sorrow, and the gratitude and the raw humanity... and we carry it, informing the way we think, see the world, treat others...

And we get to choose how we want those lessons to shape us.

I choose compassion, perspective, advocacy, kindness. I choose NEVER GIVE UP.

What do you choose?

“There is so much beauty and to be found both in the differences that seek to divide us and in the hopeful resilience that will forever connect us.” NEVER GIVE UP.

Remember when you wanted to slide down the slide with your friend? It was preschool and I love that young children have no concept of limitations so they pushed me. Pushed me to take your bipap breathing machine off, unhook your feeding tube, and give you the opportunity to hold hands with a friend down the slide. So simple. So important. And so scary for this mama heart, and a little for you too. But each simple thing lead to another, and another, and each push kept filling up your social butterfly cup. 🦋 I miss you and our adventures, my love, but I hope one day soon I will get to watch other parents bravely pushing themselves for their brave children at @gwendolynsplayground 💜🌈🦋✨ Help us build joy, fun, and adventure for all!
