Today has been 8 months since we buried our daughter. In a way it seems like it happened yesterday. In a way it seems like there was never a time without her.
I realized that timing is everything when you lose your child.
11:30: Time of birth.
11:30: Time of death.
Thursday: the day of the week I delivered her.
29th: the date she was born.
29th: the date she died.
November: the month she was born.
November: the month she died.
November 29,2013: the day after Thanksgiving. BLACK FRIDAY.
What should be the 1st birthday of our daughter, but is instead the 1st anniversary of her death.
As most of you know the Kisses for Claudie Project was started to give 365 kisses to our daughter in the form of random acts of kindness. This was to represent everyday of first year of life that we couldn't kiss her.
Please help us honor Claudette Elyse's life by doing a random act of kindness. We have had 30 random acts that mean so much to us and others. But as you can see we have a long way to go to reach our goal by her first birthday. Thanks so much for helping others in the name of our little girl!
On November 29, 2013 we will be having a huge birthday party in honor of Claudie and giving her gifts to the kids at The Children's Place of Kansas City. If you would like to do your random act of kindness by helping with the party let us know!
