Four years later and Zin’s waves continue to swell, roll, and crash over me. For the second year in a row we are celebrating his birthday in Acadia National Park where the vibe is so perfectly Zin. Big ocean, bright foliage, and hiking trails that put you right in the thick of it. Serenity abounds. Wonder fills the air, and with it I get to think about what life would be like with him here, and what we’ve been given in his absence.
Ethan doesn’t know about Zin yet, I don’t think, but I caught him doing a double take while looking at Zin’s baby picture as if he realized that it wasn’t a picture of himself. 😳 Cute. It’ll be fun to see Ethan grow up celebrating Zin week and watching as he learns about his big brother.
Needless to say it’s a heavy week, but the love our family shares is strong and stronger thanks to our sweet boys. We hope you feel Zin’s waves today 🌊 ❤️
