Today is Ezra's 8 month birthday. I miss him.
Instead of my own words, someone just shared with me Ernest Hemingway's response when he was challenged to write a story in 6 words. It sums it all up:
For sale, baby shoes, never worn.
Chills.

I haven't thought about Hemingway's story since college. I remember pondering the statement then.
It's heart-wrenching to read it now.
I've seen/heard that story over and over. (I was an English major in college.) But it never held meaning for me the way it does now. :(
oh, sarah, ezra's birthday, i miss him too. that is the saddest, most poignant story. thanks for sharing it. i've never heard it...thinking of you today as i am everyday. abrazos y besos.
I'd forgotten about that. Yes. Terrible. Meaningful like it never was before.
Sweet Ezra.
Love to you.

I think someone once referred to that as the saddest short story ever written. Absolutely right.
Thinking of you, David, and Ezra.
Chills indeed Sarah. I miss your little guy, too.
Thinking of all of you.
xxoo
I've heard of Hemingway's story in college, but I never really thought of it until now. Wow.
Thinking of you and Ezra today.
(hugs)
I hadn't read that before. Thinking of you guys tonight and sending hugs from SF.
Happy birthday baby boy. Wish you were here. xo
Thinking of you today and your precious Ezra.
missing ezra with you too sarah. holding you both in my heart everyday. thanks for sharing that story. chills over here too.
I'm holding you and your beautiful family close to my heart and thinking about you.
Hugs to all.
Oh Sweet Ezra, sweet sweet Ezra...
And I have goose bumps from reading that - I have not seen that before. And yes, perhaps the saddest story very written...
Thinking of you, xxx
Happy 8 months Ezra. You are missed.
That quote reminds me of an ad I just say on craigs.list.org. Someone was trying to sell a brand new glider, never used, because they didn't need it anymore. I can't help but wonder why.
Thinking of you and Ezra and David. I've never heard that story either... chills indeed. Feel like I could've written it. I've definitely thought it. Sigh...
I got chills before I read "Chills"
Oh Sarah,
My love to you on what should be a day of writing down what Ezra did on his 8 month birthday.
Love love and more love to you x
he is beautiful.
Sorry I'm late, but I'm thinking of you and little Ezra.
