Ugh!

"Look, Mommy. It's Me and Joshy."

I didn't know what to say, so I just smiled.

The sleeping baby was a gift from my aunt given to my daughter long before we lost Joshua. When I look at it, I get mixed emotions. Happy, that my daughter embraces this doll because it reminds her of her baby brother. Sad, because this doll never opens his eyes... just like Joshua never did.

This is how I started my day, splendid.

Oh Lianne, your daughter is so sweet. The tenderness that she has for her brother is something to hold on to.

This is very sweet. Embrace it for what it is....the love your daughter continues to show her brother.
