Our PB&J Adventure Book

May 11th.
Our official day of *Hope & Hearts*. I've told this tale many times over, but I'll continue to share each and every year to 1) To remember our angel son and our family journey  2) Give hope to families who are still in search of their own rainbows.

May 11th, 2017 was the last date that would have been associated with our angel son's pregnancy, it was to be his due date. It's crazy to think that if life had been different, he would have been 3 years old by now. Although our journey took us down a different path with his loss, May 11th will forever be a part of us. This day was to mark the end of a difficult chapter of our lives. I remember personally feeling so much sadness during this time that May. With the closing of this part of our lives, I was beginning to feel like maybe life as a mom wouldn't be in the cards for myself. That maybe we just weren't meant to have children. In this personal darkness as May 11th approach something crazy happened... They say after the storms you find a rainbow and that's exactly what happened. Right when I was feeling so broken, our rainbow came smiling through and opened up a new chapter full of love. I found out I was pregnant with Ben. It felt like life and our angel above sent us a little miracle.

Since that fateful few days back in, May 11th has become a symbol of everything our family stands for. Hope, in that even though life can serve you twists and turns, sometime really painful ones... to never loose the hope for better and brighter days ahead. And finally: Hearts. That love will always prevail in the end.

For anyone facing their own struggles on their family journey. No matter how hard or dark the road becomes, that *Hope & Hearts* will always endure. Never lose the faith in miracles, never lose the hope and never forget that love always finds a way! 🌈
