We gave birth to twin babies July 18, 2007 only to discover a couple of months later that Nicholas had a fatal genetic disease called spinal muscular atrophy. He passed away November 27, 2007 and a week later his twin sister Olivia was diagnosed with the same disease. She passed away January 12, 2008. This is a memoir of their lives, as well as a place to share my journey through everything that has happened.

Not So Angry Anymore
After I wrote my previous post, I glanced out the window and was comforted by this:
This engraved stone was a gift from our friends on the twins' 1st birthday. I think it's time that I started the memorial garden that I've been thinking about since then. That way, I can plant something new each year on their birthday.

First, let me apologize for not acknowledging the twins' birthday last week. I have been out of the loop but that is no excuse. I am glad to hear that you are not so angry any more as I do understand how the anger can sneak up on you or catch you at unexpected moments even when you know that it is inappropriate and irrational. I am also excited for you that you are considering a garden. I absolutely love my garden (even though it has been hard to keep up with this year. I love spending time in there just pulling weeds. I love looking at the beautiful flowers and the birds and reminding myself that life truly is beautiful. I love choosing new annuals every year and watching them transform the ugly spring mud into something miraculous. I hope that you will be able get your garden going and find some peace there.
If you want any help please contact me. I'd love to help!
