Yesterday was a sweet day, but also a tough day. Last night after the kids were in bed, I was emotionally and mentally exhausted. I don't think I realized how the day was affecting me until I just couldn't go anymore. I honestly tried not to think about the details of the day Will was born or the few days leading up to his birth. I don't know why, but I just didn't want to relive it yesterday. I just wanted to celebrate him.
Canon and I ran errands in the morning getting balloons, flowers, and cake. Canon really enjoyed running errands as we don't do this very often anymore now that I have two to run around with. We all went out to lunch and then came home and got the kids naps. We then went out to the cemetery (we were going to go earlier in the day, but it didn't work out) along with Jess's parents. After leaving the cemetery we went out to dinner then came back to our house for cake. Canon insisted we sing Happy Birthday to Will. It was sweet, but kind of sad.

All of our family had a message to put on a pinwheel I made.
Just like last year, we put all the pinwheels out at the grave.
While Jess was praying with Canon before bed, Canon said "Happy Birthday William Thomas, we sang happy birthday to you, mommy put a pinwheel on the cake, and we went to your grave." :)

Rachel,
Whew...it's hard to read those precious words written to Will without being overcome with emotion. I can't begin to imagine what these last two years have been like for your family and I am so very sorry that you didn't have more time with Will, but I know that he was so incredibly blessed to have you and Jess for parents. You have just honored his life so beautifully. I know there really aren't words good enough - but I want you to know how much I do care and am praying for you guys!
