2 weeks

Dear Sawyer,

Tonight will be short. It's late and I'm getting pretty tired. Today turned out to be a pretty good day.  This morning we had a bit of a scare when your mom was having some difficulties. We didn't know if they were common after childbirth or not so we talked to the midwife.  She advised us to go into the hospital which we did.  We spent an hour or so there and everything checked out fine. It was a big relief. I have this fear that I am going to lose her as well. Your passing was so sudden to us. Who knows when it will be my time or when it will be your mom's time. As much as we want to see you, hopefully we last for a long time on this Earth.  My other fear is that something happens and your mom is unable to get pregnant again. I mentioned this before, but it weighed heavily on my mind today.  I bought a blood pressure monitor this morning so that we can keep track of your mom. When she becomes pregnant again, it will be nice to have around.  I'm sure we'll also get one of those devices that allow you to listen to the baby's heart beat. I bet we'll use it every night.

This afternoon we met up with your Uncle Brian, Aunt Brianna, and your cousins; Elijah, Isaac, and Eve. Elijah, who is 12, is only about an inch shorter than me!  We came to your grave and planted flowers in the nearby planter. There were 2 small shrubs before, now it is full of daffodils, pansies, and a pink azalea. They also planted sweet pea seeds.

I hope you like it!

Love,

Dad
