Aiden had his 4th Angel Birthday on Tuesday. We went to the beach, walked and just had a fun crazy Piemonte day. We had cake and Jordyn wanted to sing happy birthday. She also told me next year we need blue candles. :) I posted a happy birthday message on facebook, and it meant so much to me of all of my family and friends that remember and love my little boy. I would be lying if I said that I did not cry. He will forever be looking after his sister's just like any big brother would do.
I posted this poem last year. But its fitting. Because of Aiden I would not have this life I love. I will always love my son :)
“A Pair of Shoes”Author Unknown
I am wearing a pair of shoes.They are ugly shoes.Uncomfortable shoes.I hate my shoes.Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.Yet, I continue to wear them.I get funny looks wearing these shoes.They are looks of sympathy.I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.They never talk about my shoes.To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.There are many pairs in this world.Some women are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.Some have learned how to walk in them so they don’t hurt quite as much.Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.No woman deserves to wear these shoes.Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.They have made me who I am.I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
We love you big boy, HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY. Give our love to the other two for us. See you some day :)
