Happy 6th Birthday Jordan Riley

• by Judi on May 13, 2006

I’ve been dragging the past few days. I thought it may be the dreary weather. Or maybe it’s my hermit-like lifestyle and I’m just lonesome. Last night doing dishes, staring out at the bog-backyard, I realized maybe it had something to do with a birthday that goes uncelebrated… at least in traditional way.

Jordan Riley was our first and only baby girl together. She died, for unknown reasons, when I was 36 weeks pregnant and born almost a week later. It was the day before Mother’s Day, May 13th…

I talked to Tege about it today. He thinks it’s neat having a sister hanging out on the Rainbows with our dogs Calvin, Bailey and our recent baby bunny loss (a wild bunny that Cas nursed for a day before it died.. it was very hurt)…

It’s sad when no one remembers. But I don’t blame them. I have a hard enough time remembering birthdays outside my immediate family… let alone remembering a lost pregnancy. It is nice when some do though. Thank you for the nice thoughts.
Ahh.. well… Happy Birthday Jordan!
