It's been 4 years since we lost our son Patrick. In the beginning the days were very long, but my how the years have flown by. We would have a four year old, going on 5. Kindergarten would've been on the horizon. But instead we are here with his urn, collecting keepsakes to surround him at home. It's been a hard journey, I'm not going to lie. I went through the worst depression after I lost him. I feel like I became a new person, as a new mom, a loss mom, a person navigating grief. But what always kept me going was sharing his story. I love bringing him up, even though I had a very difficult time sharing our story to begin. It was personal and private. I felt like a mama bear wanting to protect my babies story. But after a couple of years, my husband and I wanted to felt an itch to do more. It had always been our plan to share our story to help others heal and walk along their own journey. I finally felt at peace with our own loss and felt confident to share our personal experience with others. So we pulled the trigger and started Patrick's Promise. So here we are, 4 years later, with a foundation in honor of our son Patrick. I'm excited to see where it takes us and to meet all the families who have joined our community.
