Arthur was joy personified 💛
Mama misses you so much my boy . I can’t fathom that you aren’t here with us anymore, it feels as though any moment now I’ll hear you footsteps and see you come around the corner excitedly to say hello and get a hug/kiss.

My baby mama is so sorry that we couldn’t save you . I’m so sorry that your last days were in the cage instead of running in a forest .
I’m so sorry that we didn’t know you were ill before it got bad .
I’m so sorry we didn’t get to the good parts of life with Daniel and you running around having fun together.
I know becoming a big brother was such a huge adjustment for you but you were truly the best big brother so patient and gentle with Daniel, mamas sorry we couldn’t play as much I know you missed the days we would play together without interruptions.

Mama is so grateful to you for all the love you so freely gave - your love was the best kind of love because it was so full and so freely given.
Thank you for the lessons you taught me, for helping me grow and appreciate sunny days and long walks .
Thank you for being by my side through pregnancy and for watching over me .
Thank you for all the belly rubs and cuddles, and being the best at hide and seek .
Thank you for making us a family and for bringing Daniel to us .
Thank you for fighting to hard in the end and giving us one last good weekend with you .
Thank you for being dada running partner and best friend.
Thank you for being my anchor.
Thank you for everything Arthur .
You are the best that life has to offer .
I will love you forever and ever .
I will miss you forever .
You are gone and you’ve taken a piece of my heart with you .

I wish I could just wake you up and things could go back to normal. I don’t understand why you had to go so soon my boy. You deserved so much more than one year of life .

Thank you for healing my heart and for being the best companion.

I will never forget you and I promise to keep your spirit and name alive forever .

I love you so much by @khristentaryn

One day he’ll be big and strong and somehow, I know I’ll still see the little hands that held my whole world.

Lately I’ve been reflecting on this in my own life…

How easy it is to keep wanting more, always reaching, always looking ahead,
while standing in a life I once prayed for.

I never want to take for granted all that I’ve been blessed with,or forget how grateful I am to God for everything He’s given me.

Sometimes we move so quickly toward what’s next that we don’t fully live in the blessings of our current answered prayers.

Maybe the real shift is learning to pause…and truly see what’s already here. by @khristentaryn

Sharing this is deeply personal… but I feel called to.
I remember searching for real, everyday birth stories before I went into labour and struggling to find one that felt like it came from someone like me.

We need more honest stories about how powerful our bodies are.
Especially from regular women.
How capable we are.
How we were created to do this.
How labour and birth aren’t one-size-fits-all.
And how trust is one of the most important, yet unspoken, parts of the entire process.

I didn’t do anything “perfect”, no special classes, no strict plan.
Just movement, an open mind, and trust.
And in the end, my body led the way.

I met the most powerful version of myself in the most vulnerable moments of my life… and she changed me forever.

If you’ve had a baby - you are incredible, no matter what your journey or story looked like.
And I encourage you to share it, honestly and positively, with the women around you who will one day walk this same path… so that birth becomes something understood, something trusted not just a scary unknown.

And if you’re a dad reading this… talk about it too.
Share what you witnessed, what you felt, what it was like for you.
Your presence matters more than you know, you are so important and deeply needed in that moment.

It was hard at first… now it’s our favourite part of the day. Walking helps reduce stress for me and supports baby’s sleep rhythm . After our walks we both feel more regulated and so calm #motherhood by @khristentaryn

4 months of Daniel 🦁.

For the nine months you were in my belly, I didn’t know if you’d be a boy or a girl. I didn’t know what your name would be. I just held onto the hope of you. I thought about all the ways you would need me and how I would have to show up for you but little did I know how much I needed exactly you, my son, Daniel.

Thank you Jesus for our precious boy . Everyday with him is a gift 🩵 by @khristentaryn
