Last Labor Day Post - Calder's Birthday

If you have been with us for a while, you likely remember that 3 years ago this week, Bossy gave birth to a sweet baby boy at 24 weeks. He never took a breath in this life, but we had the opportunity to hold him and dress him and share of his sweet spirit.


Flash forward to Calder's 3rd birthday party which just happened to be on Labor Day this year. My sweetie rushed us home so we could join Bossy and Gamer and their boys as they celebrated the son and brother they only met briefly, but never forget.


We met at Menchie's and after everyone got their ice cream, we found some tables outside so we could sit together, reminisce and play an impromptu game of imaginary football. So happy that now we can share in Calder's memory and look forward to the day when we will all be reunited as a forever family.


Thank you, sweet Calder, for reminding us of that promise.

Happy Birthday to Calder; it is always good to celebrate those moments, whether sad or not.
I think what you did is so good for all. Yes, we should be grateful for forever families.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs for all!
