Yesterday on FB, there was a post going around called This is How You Stop the World. It basically talked about how terrifying it is for a grieving mom to feel like their child has been forgotten. I've said this countless times myself. As I sat reading the post, tears brimming, I sent up a silent thank you to you all...
For six years, I've felt nothing but love, support, and encouragement from y'all. And although I worry about people forgetting Nash, you have assured me in millions of ways that you will not let that happen. YOU SAY HIS NAME. I'm so truly grateful for that. You tell me when you think of him. You tell me you dreamt of him. You tell me he makes you a better mom to your own little loves. It may make you uncomfortable, not knowing exactly what to say. But you do it anyway and it's always perfect. I am blessed.
We got home from Iowa a few days ago and life is rolling on. July 1st is always the worst day of the year, but July 2nd and July 15th and every other day on the calendar are really hard too. Because my son... my true love... my perfect little baby isn't here. And yet, as my heart aches, I find comfort everyday in YOU, my friends.
So today I wanted to thank you for saying his name. Please continue to say it over and over again. I am honored that my five month old baby boy lives in so many people's hearts all over the world.
Love to y'all,
Tracy

I have never met you but have followed your blog for several years. After reading your post today, I wanted to share how you and Nash help me so often.
I became a mom for the first time in June 2013. As you know, being a mom is the best job in the world and at the same time is really tough. I cannot tell you how many times, I have sat (many times in tears) tired, angry, frustrated and thought about you and others that I know who’ve lost a child. I think about what you would give to have the opportunity to be tired, angry and frustrated with Nash in your arms. When I think about you and your sweet angel, my perspective changes and I am able to see beyond the current moment and appreciate my blessings.
Thank you to you and Nash.
You and your family will continue to be in my prayers!

I basically have the same story as the first person to comment. I don't know you. I came across your blog because we have a mutual blogging friend :) But by reading your blog, you and Nash have made me a much better, more patient, understanding mom. I've cried so many times reading your blog. Thank you for sharing your story and touching so many!
