Today is Ruby's day...the two year anniversary of what we hope to be the worst day of our lives. And while I still harbor a lot of anger inside, I will say that we have come a long way in the past year.
In the span of two years, we experienced the death of our first child which was very tragic and heartbreaking and, a year and a half later, Boden's birth which was incredibly wonderful (miraculous really, as I remember him--and me-- pushing his way into this world) and heartwarming...it was a long road full of pain, happiness, despair, disbelief, complete joy and everything in between. It's a lot to go through.
Waking up to Boden happily chatting away in his crib this morning certainly tempers the pain and resentment over Ruby's death, but she continues to be in our hearts and we'll remember her today and every day.
"Goodbye, Ruby tuesday...still I'm gonna' miss you."
