We're back in California after a couple of days in Hawaii. The trip was for our 10-year wedding anniversary as well as Kai's 1st birthday commemoration.
Last year on June 15th (our 9th wedding anniversary) we confirmed in the hospital, much to our devastation, that Kai died. So what should have been a day of double celebration became one of the most horrible days of our married life. And this is why our wedding anniversary and our boy's birthday will be forever intertwined. For us, these two events will never be 'normal celebrations' instead they will be both about reflection and remembrance.
But that's for another blog entry. I'm posting this one not just to say "We're back!" but also to thank all of you who have taken the time to remember our son with us. I feel so uplifted when I saw your comments and emails on his day. Most of our family and friends forgot the significance of Kai's day to us. So reading your comments, emails and cards brought us a lot of comfort and peace. Dave and I thank you all so much. <3

I'm glad you took a few days off and went away. I know it doesn't make you forget, but I find it helps to be in a different setting.
I want to send you something, but there is a mail strike in Canada and nothing is going out or coming in. But something will be in the mail as soon as it is over.
I thought of you, Kai and Dave so much over the past week. I'm sorry your family and friends didn't remember (or didn't say anything). I know it stings.
Sending you lots of love and wishing you peace.
Sending love. I hope your trip to Hawaii was everything you hoped it would be.
I am so heartbroken that so many of those closest to you failed to remember the significance of Kai's day.
Thinking of you often...
Glad that you are home safe and sound. Not glad that family and friends did not take the time to acknowledge Kai with you. Love to you~
I am glad that you and Dave had a nice trip. I am sorry that your loved ones neglected to mention Kai on his day. Know that he was in my heart, here in Georgia. Sending you love. <3
I'm glad you guys were able to get away for a little trip! It broke my heart to read that most of your family didn't acknowledge Kai on his day. :( Know that he was/is thought of frequently by us -- as are you and Dave. Much love going your way!!!
I didn't realize that you found out Kai passed away on your anniversary. I am glad that you and Dave were able to have a get-a-way together during this difficult time. I can just imagine the emotions that your anniversary will forever carry. <3 I am sorry that your family and friends didn't acknowledge Kai's day. I hope that you find comfort knowing that he was remembered by so many of us out here. Remembered and loved, always! Sending you love and support!
