Kelsey Parker's 'gift from heaven' as she shares baby news after 'unimaginable grief

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/kelsey-parkers-gift-heaven-shares-37254086

16 years ago today.
A child born asleep.
Never to see the sunshine of the earth or of his mother.

I mourn for what may have been, but find consolation in what eventuated from the event. Lifelong friends made, life changes and a new found ability to find joy in the mundane.

I wish Nikolas was around for his 16th birthday, as much as I wish he was around for his 1st.

Life has a way of tossing curve balls at us, we just find a way to hit them back, bunt them into the infield or taking the strike and having another go.

Sending love to all those that have lost people on this day that means so much to me.

"After all the storms we’ve weathered since our 20s, I never expected our traumatic experiences with surrogacy to threaten our togetherness. But grief cakes on, layer over layer. Our future has never felt so limited." —Kristina Kasparian for The Rumpus

Rumpus Original Fiction: Center of Gravity - The Rumpus

I’ve always been good at picking Ethan out of a crowd. When you love someone, you know where they are. I can taste the roar and purr of the ice under his blades. I imagine his parents watching him as a boy—the way we would’ve watched ours, the way we never will— slitting the ice like scissors through silk.
