The Switzer's

Archive for August, 2009

Since we lost our little Angel Kelsey. I still talk her her daily, say good night to her and kiss her goodbye everyday. And even though a year has gone by, I’m just as heartbroken. Seeing Riley achieve all of the milestones, I can’t help but wonder what it would have been like for the two of them to reach them together. Riley loves to play and I can only imagine the joyous sight of Kelsey playing in the living room with Riley, chasing our dogs around the house. I ran to the store this evening and saw two twins girls holding hands and skipping through the store. It damn near killed me. Ever seen a full grown fat man cry in the middle of a grocery store. Should’ve been there, it was pathetic. But I pulled myself together. Barely. I’ve never hurt like I’ve hurt for Kelsey. And I pray to the Good Lord that I, or anyone else, ever does again.

Every one of our surrogacy friends and family have all been so supportive, always had a kind word. And I can’t thank you enough. Ya’lls kindness helped in a big way to get through this last year.

Riley took her first steps today. Here is a short video of it. Don’t pay any attention to the weeble-wobble of a daddy I have become..

Some pics of Riley sporting her new 2 Piece bikini..

One of these reminds me of an old Coppertone ad…

Riley gets her first shot at feeding herself some yogurt.. Didn’t quite go as planned…

Stay tuned, I have another camera that I need to grab pics off of..
