Alistair would have been 5 today





Another birthday at the cemetary. This time was special, I can't believe its been 5 years. My parents came with us for the first time, we planted alyssum & hen & chicks, we sent 5 balloons up. It was a beautiful, peaceful day. When I think of this same day 5 years ago, its heartbreak all over again. But I stop and think of the beautiful little boys that have come into our lives since then, I am amazed and grateful. I also want them to always know about their precious older brother, Alistair.

Sweet little Alistair is surely interceding for his family from Heaven

Feliz cumpleanos querido Alistair. I'm one of the few who was able to meet you, kiss you and hold you before you went to heaven!

Thank you both so much. It means a lot to know we're not the only ones thinking of him.

About Me

My photo
I'm just a mom in the world. A crunchy Catholic mama of 6 trying to make sense of it all and stay positive. 5 boys here & 1 in heaven. One awesome man who I get to grow old with. I help new moms breastfeed. I`m happy. I don`t go to shows or dance clubs every night but I would if I could. Where`s the nanny? When I see her she`s SO fired! One of my boys is super sweet and sensitive, another one is a holy terror. I learn a ton from all of them daily. Like Nigella says, as any parent of small children knows,there comes a point in the day where you can`t go any further without a drink! I love cocktail hour. I`d like nothing more than to be with my family and some good friends surrounded by tropical plants drinking a margarita listening to the Eagles. I don`t care about trendy, I like that grungy 70`s vibe.
