@summer.mccurry: Saying goodbye to the best summer I’ve ever had. The most healing summer of my life. 🥹 So much redemption as we got to bring our baby on vacations and to the pool and hangout with friends and family all summer long. Things we’ve prayed so hard to be able to do for four years now since we first found out we were pregnant with Everett, but were never able. For so long our life looked so different. Summers spent in and out of hospitals, Plans we couldn’t make, Trips we couldn’t take. Days where the rest of the world was out living and doing all the normal summer things while our entire world existed inside four hospital walls or in the walls of our little home. But this summer we finally got to experience the joy of getting to bring our healthy baby right along with us and start experiencing the world through her eyes! We got to just be a little family. I remember praying for healthy babies and ordinary days. I remember wishing more than anything that we could take Everett home and just LIVE without the fear of his heart giving out and germs. I remember dreaming about all of the things we would do with him when he got better once he finally got the surgery he needed. Of course that’s the part that will always hurt because every beautiful thing we do with Eloise makes us wish he were still here to experience it all with us. I wish more than anything that our redemption story included him still being here. But I also know that Everett is living more fully than any of us are. So I praise God for that. I can grieve the life we didn’t get to have while thanking God with everything in me for the life He has given us now. I can look back at everything we’ve walked through and still say, God has been so, so good to us. #endofaugust #Summer #redemption #lifeafterloss #memories
