Today Gavin and Parker got their first and probably last piece of mail. Their Social Security cards came. I had no idea they would get one, but then I thought about it and we did fill out birth certificates. It only makes sense. I am so glad Chad was here to open them with me. I got home a couple minutes before he did, and I thought about getting the mail. Then I decided I'll just let Chad get it, my hands were full. So when he brought it in, we each opened one. It was bittersweet.
Amazing how even going to the mailbox can be such a source of pain. I am glad you guys were together to support each other through yet another step on the path of grief.
