Scenes from our night with 🕺🏽🪩✨Bruno✨🪩🕺🏽

Spring Break, I needed you. ☀️🌷🪻🎨🍿

This is my favorite photo of myself from 2025. I had my summer tan and was feeling good after 4 weeks off work for my short summer break. Also, I was about 8 weeks pregnant and on top of the world. See, my husband and I had survived 2 miscarriages the year prior and my bloodwork for this pregnancy came back perfect. What I didn’t know then was that my third loss was just days away.

Time has become my best friend and my greatest enemy.

It is my friend because every day I feel stronger. In 2025, I had my third miscarriage, ending my hopes of having another baby. Every day I feel less grief than the day before, and more acceptance of this finality we have experienced.

Time is my greatest enemy because every day is a reminder that my sweet girl is never going to be this small again. She’s growing and changing and I hate that I did not know she was my only baby, because I feel like I took it all for granted.

This year has taught me this: this moment is all we’ve got. I look to 2026 with gratitude, hope, and motivation to be present in each and every moment.

I hope 2026 brings you all the joy you need and the love you deserve.
If you are struggling with loss, grief, or feel like you are the only one: know that I am always here to talk.
