marshmallows and giggles

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I had a lovely evening with the fam tonight.  Hubs built a fire in our new fire bowl and we roasted marshmallows to make smores.  The kids and I were snuggled under a blanket to keep warm.  We had so much fun.  Dylan said “I love camping with a fire in our backyard!”  Chloe liked snuggling under the blanket.  Ezra was happy to get to eat chocolate.  Gabe got really excited after I ate the smores.  There were lots of stars out and lots of giggling.  Now they’re all conked out at their “camp out” on the living room floor.

I am so thankful that we were able to have a normal fall evening together.  Hubs and I have been busy getting things prepared for our stay at the hospital and for our meeting at the funeral home this coming Tuesday.  It’s been an emotional week so it was nice to be able to just sit down and enjoy our little family.  I pray that this evening never leaves my memory.

About Me

Gabriel Elliott Groce

I am a wife, a mother, a woman of God. I have 3 living children and 2 in Heaven. I am writing of the loss of my youngest sons: Felix David who died April 2, 2008 (no known cause) at 24w 3d and was born still on April 4, 2008 and Gabriel Elliott who was born on October 19, 2009, lived for 32 minutes and died peacefully in his daddy's arms. (Gabe was diagnosed with limb-body wall complex - a rare and fatal birth defect - at 19w 6d and we chose to carry him to term.)

I may be upbeat at times, down or silent at others. I hope that by writing about my experiences I can help people understand my grief and maybe help them through theirs.
