Taylor Day

It is on our calendar every year--like some sort of a holiday, but one which kind of sucks. I didn't ever meet him on this earth, and I wasn't around for the first few occasions, but it is still a day that has a big place in my heart. Before I knew about this day, this family, this kid, I didn't understand the way that someone could be a part of your life without ever being a part of your living. Now I do, and it has changed me a lot. Taylor Day has helped me develop empathy and sympathy and all sorts of love that I didn't have before. Before Jooj was too big I spent a year making funeral gowns in honor of Taylor Day. Last year I just called and said I love you. This year I haven't done anything momentous, either. But I think I will get back into the habit of honoring other babies and kids on mothers on Taylor Day.

I wrote this a few years ago--in case you never saw it.

Anyway, I love you, my Nayvor.
