Blessings for Bear

Our 2025 summed up in a couple of minutes. Life doesn't stop when you are surrounded by love. Being their Mom is my favorite. ❤️
Another year without our sweet Bear, but we feel him in every special moment, we have the best angel looking over us all the time! ❤️

No one should out live their baby, life is not fair. If it wasn't for my older kiddos I don't know where I would be. My life is my kids! We all miss Bear so much everyday, there is a battle inside me everyday to be strong for my living children especially on the days I want to hold my baby more than ever. 💔

What has grief taught you? 💙

Really missing my best friend! 🥹 Grief will grab you harder some days, some days Im doing great, other days I feel like Im frozen while everything else keeps going around me... One day Im on top of the world and the next Im drowning..grief is hard, the more you love someone the harder it is... parents aren't suppose to out live their children, nothing is easy and life is not fair!

If you have not had a Christmas with a cat and a tree.... these questions aren't for you...lol
🎄🐈‍⬛🎄🐈🎄
-How many ornaments do you put back on a day?
-How many ornaments have been broken?
-How many times have you picked up the entire tree?
-Tree Skirt?
-All your lights working?
-Have you gave up fluffing the empty spots where they lay?

Now once the presents are under...how many will he open??...

I have 5 kids, and a toddler has nothing on a cat!

🤣🤣

Bear and Casper would of been great buddies! I know they would of loved each other's cuddles! 💙

You can never prepare for the heartbreak of losing your child, even when you know the time will come, there is never enough time. I miss him so much everyday, and will for the rest of my life. You're not supposed to live longer than your babies. Life is not fair. He dreamed of being a police officer when he grew up, he just never got to grow up. 💔

Best brothers ever ❤️🥹

Lets just be honest. Lets just be real...
All the traditions and little surprises meant the most!
I hope my kids look back and remember how loved they were, not because of the gifts they got but because of the magic Mommy created for them. ❤️

He has no idea how much that sweaty hug meant! Senior year is racing by way too fast! He only has one more game left! When I said that last night he made sure to correct me "one more high-school game" 🥹 I'm ecstatic that I'll be watching him play college football next year at this time!! Time needs to slow down so we can treasure every moment!!
