Baby boy,

When I was giving your Valentine’s Day treats out at the mall, I had told you I met a mom who took a Lego set for her nephew and told me that her sister-in-law had lost a child, too.

I got a message on your Facebook page today from that mom. The Lego set was for her son who was born the same year you were. I got you the Lego creator set that had an orange cat because I liked it and they actually own two orange cats. Their son Lucas, was stillborn, and then they had another daughter and named her Ellie.

Of course after all this, I had to go to Google and ask about “coincidences”. Instead of just letting myself believe that the whole scenario happened for a reason, especially since it makes me feel better. Is believing something like that really crazy?

I’m not sure, baby boy. This life has shown me that it’s anything but predictable. I love you more than anything, baby boy. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
