This post is a day late, but I just wasn’t up to it yesterday.
Two years old is how old you should be. Instead of celebrating with you we celebrated without you. This will never be good enough and never be easy.
Xander and I spent the morning baking birthday cookies. Last year we made cupcakes. Then we all went to visit your ashes, sing happy birthday and eat your cookies.
It is not how we wish we were spending your birthday. We wish we were watching you open presents and run around all excited like a regular two year old.
Last year I wrote a little poem for you and thought that I would carry on tradition and write another verse.
2015-1st Birthday
Today we should be celebrating and watching you smash cake,
Instead we visit your grave and think of your unfair fate.
What we would give to see you just one more time,
To hold your tiny hand and look into your bright eyes.
Our lives are now incomplete,
Until that day where we will meet.
Rest in peace sweet baby boy,
Today we will try and celebrate your joy.
2016-2nd BirthdayHappy Birthday to you,
Today you should be two.
Running around,
Enjoying playgrounds.
How we wish you were here,
Instead we face our worst fear.
So today we celebrate you,
All the while trying not to be blue.
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday Hunter. Our precious little acorn who we love and miss you oh so much.
My Little Acorn 
❤

Hi Sara, I have tried several times to reply to your posts, not sure you I ever saw them. Always enjoy reading them. My grandmother was good at writing little things like you are writing about Hunter, it looks like you have inherited her ability to write, keep up the good work. Love you all Farmor

Yes I can see your comments, not sure if you can see my responses. But thank you for the nice thoughts. I enjoy writing, just never taken it public until now.
