The other night I was talking to a follower blogger and we agreed that some days we just have nothing write about or we have second thoughts about sharing things. But I do have something to share. Four years ago this week, DH and I went to Hawaii, an amazing trip that helped heal us. Just four months after losing our Sara, our beautiful son was conceived there. Now we are going back. By the time I actually post this, we'll either be there or be back.
This time, it's a very different trip. Ethan is going with us as well as 3 other people - a couple who have been to Hawaii several times and a singleton who hasn't been. The 2 guys are DH's college buddies, they were groomsmen in our wedding. We'll do some of the same things again, try some new things. We are so excited.
I will bring a picture of Sara, as I did four years ago. Hawaii always makes me think of my beautiful Sara.
1/24. We're in Hawaii. : ). I was looking through a cabinet full of games, puzzles and books and found a book I left here. Four years ago, late in my pregnancy, I started reading "Little Earthquakes" by Jennifer Weiner. It's about a woman who lost a child due to SIDS, she ran away from her husband, and ended up befriending a group of women each dealing with issues relating to motherhood and/or trying to have it all, etc... I was enjoying it until Sara died. I bought it along to Hawaii and left it here after reading it. Just seeing the cover, brought me back to our first trip, I could see myself laying in bed, reading the book and crying, thinking about my Sara. I'm tempted to bring it back with me, but probably won't.
Soon after finding the book, I told DH about it, how it brought those raw emotions. A few minutes after that, a huge butterfly flew by. I know Sara, you are always with us, everywhere.

I am glad you are all together, enjoying some healing sunshine. We had a similar trip after Serenity died - and I think it would do wonders for us to take it again too when we can and when Bea is old enough.
Enjoy and take care
(and it's crazy that the book you left is still there)
I think it's wonderful you went to Hawaii with Ethan and Sara was there in butterfly form- beautiful.
Thanks for the chat today and for sharing the link to your pictures. Looks like you had a wonderful time.
Ya chun - we stayed at a rental house, probably not the busiest place.
