August 13, 2013
two.
We do meaningful things
and visit a meaningful spot.
It is his day.
A day for rituals
and reflection.
I think about what Liam's life means to us
and all the ways he's changed me.
I remember why we are right here right now
and the little boy who is not.
+++
In Toronto, candles are lit
and two balloons hang next to his picture frame.
Photos of Liam are posted on his aunt's Facebook wall
and messages of remembrance are exchanged.
Justin shows me each one
and my tender heart swells.
He is remembered and missed and loved.
+++
Liam is gone
but he is very much a part of each and every day.
He is a part of us.
His story is weaved into his brother's,
into mine.
I carry one of my sons in my arms
and the other one in my heart.
+++
August 6 is the anniversary of our first son's birth.
Liam would be two years old now.
I miss him so much.
I love him so much.
/some photos from his birthday
Oh Tash. Your words are beautiful. Your strength and love are truly inspiration. What tender pictures to celebrate Liam's birthday. Thinking of you xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely Nell X
DeleteSuch beautiful photos. And such beautiful babies. Two - crazy: an eternity and at the same time just the length of a little sigh. Sending love to you and your family and remembering little Liam.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jen xx
DeleteAlso I like how you say that Liam's story is weaved into his brother's; I feel that so strongly about A and M. He is part of her story and his brilliance, the wonder of him, comes from her, at least partly, too.
ReplyDeleteI love that J, and I feel the same way. Every baby is an absolute miracle but I believe our "rainbows" have that extra touch of wonder and light yes. Leif wouldn't be here if it weren't for Liam. I try not to think about it too much because it's so hard but it's our truth and our story.
DeleteFor some very bizarre reason, I thought of you yesterday and wondered how you'd been. I had to look in my old blog to find a comment from you to get to your blog. I am so glad I found you again. I was so glad to catch up by reading and see Leif in your arms. He is beautiful. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteBittersweet love...and beauty in your life right now.
Love from NB.
Thank you Natalie. Funny, I thought of you not too long ago. I hope you're doing well. xx
