Halloween Pasts....
I was blessed to have had a few Halloween trick-or-treating experiences with Shane. 50% of families of babies born with CDH aren't so lucky. And Shane never got to eat a single piece of candy. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal to most but candy.... 1 simple, childhood pleasure, something "normal".... he missed out on so much. CDH took his life and so much more.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all of these wonderful pictures with us! And Shane was so blessed to have a mommy that still let him dress up, even if he couldn't have the candy!
Just know, he gets candy in heaven now! And he LOVES it! :) He knows how lucky he was to be blessed with you for his momma!
All my love,
