Happy Sunday Team Keris. I officially survived May. It is always a doozie. Brain Tumor Awareness Month, Mothers Day, and Keris’ Birthday. It did not get easier like I thought it might but I made it. Sometimes you celebrate survival!

This month Nova turned 3 months. Everyone always comments about how sweet she is and that she always smiles instead of crying like most newborns. I tell them that she has been touched by an angel. I believe that with everything in my heart. I believe she knows her big sister and she has felt the love of Keris prior to coming into the world. Oddly enough Nova and Keris look almost identical when you look at their baby pictures. My husband and I were both thinking this silently but did not want to acknowledge the resemblance. One day we had the conversation because the similarities were just undeniable.

Grief is still an ongoing process that has peaks, valleys, twists, and turns. I feel blessed to have Nova because she has reminded me to love again. I remember finding out I was pregnant last July. It was one week after Keris’ first Angelversary. I was struggling and then it was as if God was saying “Deidre, I have more for you than grief.”

My life is a daily walk of joy and pain, laughter, and tears, hopes for the future and unanswered questions from the past. Through it all, it still comes down to taking life moment by moment and one day at a time! Here is a picture of Nova Raye. You can see that God sent us a visual reminder of our Sweet Angel! Be Blessed today 💗#pwc#loveneverends
