Praying for you to find your balance. I’m sure it cannot be easy. I do not pretend that I can know your pain. I know that I wondered for the longest about a child I lost only 6 weeks into my pregnancy & how depressed I was. I had never seen or held this child, but I had a longing. I also have a friend who’s son lost his battle w/ leukemia. He was my son’s best friend. She has days where seeing his friends is great & other days, it just deepens her wound. It is such a place that I pray to never find myself. I know that I am selfish that way, but I also wish no other parent ever, ever had to take that pain. Just remember, God knows your pain. He sacrificed his only child for us! Hugs & prayers for you and all the parents touched by SMA.

Oh Audra,
So beautifully written and so true. You put it to paper perfectly. That delicate battle. I remember the first few times I’d wake and Chloe wouldn’t be my first thought. And actually, writing her name this morning was the first. Lydia’s milk and waffle were the first thoughts. And coffee!! Amazing how tough we are..how we can get through. I’m glad Lucy gives you the joy and strength to be the person you know you have to be for her. And Andy wants that, of course. They know we haven’t forgotten….

So much love,
Corinne

I imagine what you go thru everyday and multiply it by 1,000 … knowing i’ve not even touched on your true emotions. What I do know is that Andy is watching over you every second of every day. I know that you are the strongest person I have ever known. I know that you are a fantastic Mother! I know that you inspire me and a LOT of other people. I know that you have made a difference. But mostly, I know that you deserve to live a life filled with love and happiness, a life filled with peace … it’s what Andy wants for you … it’s what Lucy wants for you … it’s what your family and friends want for you … and mostly, it’s what God wants for you. Living life isn’t forgetting Andy … it’s honoring what he would want for the most amazing, wonderful, thoughtful, caring person … who he is SO proud to call his Mother. <3

Hi Honey,
Moving forward – that is what we all have to do for Andy’s gift to us, Lucy.
She is going to know her big brother very well – we will make sure of that.
By celebrating life, we celebrate Andy and his short life. He was the center of our lives for all of his life and we know he knew he was loved very, very much!
Love,
Mom
