My first daughter, Charlotte Amelia, was born silently into the world on May 13, 2003. Since her birth and death our family has welcomed four living children. Joy and gratitude prevail in our life together, yet my sadness is always with me, tucked alongside the beauty of every day.
Carol, this is so great, and I love how you said this was your "Mom of the Year" award for Charlotte. So richly deserved. I wonder how many heads nodded in vigorous agreement, like mine, to hear the words "Carol McMurrich is phenomenal."
Congratulations. You are beautiful thanks for sharing this special award. You are a wonder. What a nice treat to see you and hear you not just read your words!
Oh I got all weepy at "Mum of the Year for Charlotte" part too. I can't quite explain to you how I feel after seeing this. I've "known" you for all these years now but this is the first time I've heard you voice. Seeing you and listening to you speak about Charlotte, you almost brought her to life for me. You're both that much more real to me now. I'm so touched to have found you on this journey of grief, even if a great big ocean separates us. All of those broken hearted mothers in your neighbourhood are so lucky to have you, despite how unlucky they have been in the first place. xo

Can't think of anyone more deserving. What a lovely piece.
