Nolan Eason

At 1:03AM on Friday, March 30, 2012 my first child was born - a son. We named him Nolan Eason. 21" long, 5lb 3oz. He was beautiful and perfect in every way, except that he was stillborn. As we searched for answers to his untimely death, we also searched for comfort. This blog was created as a way of working through my sorrow by trying to find something beautiful in the world each day. Hopefully, along the way it will help others to heal as well.

Farmer's Market Fun

Today was our last day in Florida with Luke and Jessica. After staying up late last night chatting with them, we were all pretty slow to awake. Except of course Jessica who gets up at the crack of dawn every day and is revving to go. She's like my Dad. My Dad I don't think has ever slept past 7am in his life. Come to think of it, Jessica and my Dad have the same birthday - years apart, of course. Maybe there's something to do with the day you are born shaping what time of person you are going to be, or at least what time of morning person you will be. Myself, I am NOT a morning person. Ask me to stay up all hours of the night and I can but ask me to get up at 5am and you will not see a happy camper.

So after several cups of coffee and showers, we were all finally ready to go. So we drove into Jacksonville to have brunch at their favorite spot and then went down to the river for their Farmer's Market. We browsed the vegetables and fruit, but settled on some homemade Naan bread and natural honey soap. There was live music and some amazing artwork that Marshall and I considered buying until we realized we needed more wall space in our house to hang it on. It was a beautiful day and the Farmer's Market reminded me of the Azalea Festival in Wilmington, only smaller. After such a pleasant morning with two of our dearest friends, Marshall and I reluctantly said our goodbyes and packed up the car to leave.
