What?!

6 years ago my mama heart was desperate for a way to honor my son on his birthday. He would have been turning 5 that year and 5 felt so big and important. And I felt lost as to how to honor him well that year. We decided that the best way to honor his life would be to gift other grieving parents a tangible reminder that they were loved and not forgotten.

That was 2013 and every October since then we have gifted countless prints to mothers who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss in honor of my son’s birthday. The Aaden Sage Birthday Project. I think he would have loved it.

This simple gift shouts “I SEE YOU. I REMEMBER!” and is so meaningful to a mom who is so afraid that the world will forget her and her baby.

If you or someone you know has experienced the loss of a baby, this gift is for you.

This year we partnered with Rebecca Pelletier to create the most beautiful print featuring a pen and ink and watercolor rendering of the Snapdragon and Statice flower, both of which carry significant meaning for a grieving mother. This print says “you are strong and full of grace and we remember you!” I think you are going to love it.

December 15, 2008. Exactly one month after my son died I sat across the table from a woman who changed the way I viewed Jesus. Only one month after I said goodbye to my baby and I felt like the entire world had moved on. Forgotten my son. Forgotten my pain. My heart was in shambles […]

Dear Aaden, October 8, 2008 was a pretty spectacular day, the day you were born. Mommy’s do not quickly, if ever, forget the story of their little one’s entering the world. I remember so many details about that day and yet so much is fuzzy. An enormous part of my heart wishes I could go […]

November 15. I still avoid you. I will even pass by milk with that expiration date. November 15 is hard. And ugly. And so utterly painful. This day 5 years ago I found my perfect, healthy, beautiful 5.5 week old baby boy not breathing. A mother’s nightmare. To call 911. To wait in a waiting […]

AadenSage would have been 5 years old on October 8. As a parent the idea of celebrating the birthday of a child no longer here is unimaginable. Until you’re in it. Until the depths of death have surrounded you. Until everything within you wants to ensure your child never forgotten. Until all you want to […]

Dear Aaden, Today is your 5th birthday. We will celebrate you today. We will play Candy Land and giggle at Asher’s excitement. We will go out for donuts because let’s be honest, we know that’s how a 5 year old would want to start his birthday celebration. (And I am sure Andrew will have no […]
