May 20. Ten years ago, this day changed my life in the most traumatic and devastating way. A way that made all of May dreary and dark. A way that made me dread it’s approach each year with a lump in my throat and a knot in my stomach. A way that made me wish harder than any other day that things could be different. The day I lost my little brother.
This year, May became a little brighter. May 20 became a day that I counted the days until. A day that I anxiously and excitedly awaited. This year, May 20 went from one of the worst days of my life to one of the very best. The day that we first saw our precious little BABY…
