Every year gets harder and harder to share that today is my Kennedy’s birthday. I almost feel like I can’t let my family and friends know about it because maybe they think I should be past it at this point. I don’t dwell on it, but when it comes to her actual birthday I have to talk about her. How old she would be, what would she be doing and what would our life be like if we had her still. It’s hard.
So if I can’t talk to my family and friends I talk to you ladies instead. This is the best therapy session there is! So here goes.....
My Kennedy Kay would be turning 9 today. 9 years old. I have a clip of her hair and it was so very dark. I hope she would have kept those dark locks. I’d have had a red head, a black haired, and 2 blondes. What fun is that!!! I think my girl would be funny and sweet. I think she would have been athletic and slightly chubby like her mama. Well, maybe Mama is more than slightly, but that’s a whole different thread post. Her brothers would have made her a rough and tumble kind of girl.....but I’d have tried to keep her girly!!
Most importantly I think my girl would have been kind. She would have been loved. And she really is missed!!! Truly and deeply missed!
Happy Birthday Kennedy Kay. Have an amazing day in heaven!!

Happy birthday to your Kennedy!
I think it’s wonderful and perfectly okay to think about what could have been. It’s only a problem if you dwell on it and let it take over reality.
You sound like a terrific and proud mom!
Sending you love 💗

Happy birthday Kennedy! Thinking about her on her birthday is not dwelling. Everyone grieves in their own way...some may be thinking of her today and other days but not voice that which can makes us feel we’re alone in our grief. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Kennedy was real - she existed - and she matters. I'm so glad you can come here and share with us. Happy Birthday, sweet Kennedy! I will give my daughter an extra long hug today in your honor. One year I asked the peas to give their children extra love in her honor. Just a hug or kiss. It was one of the most rewarding threads I’ve ever read!!! Squeeze your little one once for me!!!

Happy birthday Kennedy. I'm sure you would have grown to be just the way you're mamma imagined you to be sweetie.
Big (((( hugs)))) to you Lesley, I can only imagine how hard it must be to cope with the " what might have been" and no one should suggest to you that you should be past it, however long it has been.
