The greater plan
While life wasn't horrible for me growing up, it wasn't the one I read about in books or saw in the movies. My dad left my family when I was just 3 years old.

YOU are not the victim
So, let me understand, you didn't lose a child but yet you are upset and make it about you? how does that work?

Happy Birthday my sweet pea
Your diagnosis, your life - it wasn't want we knew or planned but your life in 7 years was an amazing teaching lesson. Now, 2 years later and your 2nd birthday without you here we still miss you beyond words.
