5-Month Angelversary

Today is Adelle's 5-month Angelversary.  "Angelversary" is a new word in my vocabulary.  It means the day your baby grew her wings.  A year ago I didn't think I was going to be celebrating an Angelversary... and 5 months ago I couldn't foresee how I was going to spend today (mostly because it's hard enough to live one day at a time)...

I must say that as far as Angelversaries go, this was a good one (Of course, what do I know?  This is one of the first of many, many Angelversaries).  Sara and I distributed flyers for Angel Mommies Support Group.  We're convinced that someone (or maybe two someones) were looking out for us...  As we entered the Obstetricians' offices, NICU and funerals homes it was sometimes hard to hold it together but we found strenght to do what we felt was right.  Luckily we were greeted, for the most part, by people who were open and gave us positive feedback. 

Today I feel that I was exactly where I was meant to be... however distraught this made me feel.  (If you ask me tomorrow, I might tell you something different).  This doesn't take away the pain, it doesn't make me accept the situation, it just means that I feel that I was doing something positive and that Adelle's short life might give a purpose to mine afterall, even if she grew her wings too soon.

An "Ok" Day

Today was an "ok" day.

It's not a day without tears.  Actually, songs like the Wavin' Flag by Young Artists for Haiti (because Adelle will never "get older") always bring tears to my eyes. And of course, they play these on the dance music station on my way to work,  so now it's obvious why I can't stand to listen to EZ-Rock! 

However, things like a big dose of Vitamin D, the sun and a bouquet of flowers from M (just because), help me feel a little bit more normal.  Not to mention that I feel better after reading the info sent by PBSO describing signs of grief (apparently I have them all except blurred vision and anorexia).  Ha!  So, actually, I am normal (relief!).  Also being able to focus on our new support group (Angel Mommies Support Group) is very helpful. 

So, I will put on my mascara again tomorrow morning, hope it doesn't smear (again) on the drive to work and face the day head on...  We'll see what it throws back at me.

About Me

My photo
On November 6th, 2009, I gave birth to our angel Adelle at 34 weeks. She had already grown her wings... I am going through a difficult time and am learning a lot about myself and what it means to be the mommy of an Angel. I hope that by sharing my experiences, other angels' moms will find some comfort in knowing they are not alone. I am married to the most wonderful man on Earth. I am blessed with the most precious family and friends. My heart will always be full of love for my Angel Baby Adelle.

Baby Adelle

On the wings of an angel, she gently touched down. Here for a moment, then heavenly bound, where the sweet Father welcomed her home and the wings of an angel became her own.

In memory of our precious baby girl
