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.

Company

While I've been spending 12-14 hours a day at work the last couple of weeks, Marshall and Robi have been spending just as much time working on our rental house in NODA. Our intent is to get it ready to sell and hopefully it will sell quickly. If not, we will most likely be forced to put it back on the rental market until the real estate market turns around and we can sell it. Today the boys spent the day painting the outside of the house. We had started to paint the house awhile back a dark gray but were advised by our real estate agent to paint it a lighter more neutral color for the lighter color would make the small 1000 sq feet house appear bigger. From the pictures Marshall texted me today, it looks great! I can't wait to see it in person.

I know it has been so good for Marshall to have Robi helping him. Marshall was really dreading having to work on the house by himself for I think he had always planned that when he would be working on the house over the summer he would be also watching and entertaining Nolan at the same time. It's hard for Marshall to be alone a lot in Charlotte for here is really where he seems to have the hardest time dealing with not having Nolan around - at least for now. I'm sure that's mostly due to the fact that our plans at the time was that I would work and Marshall would take the time off and be Mr. Mom until November and take care of Nolan. Its hard when you had all these plans to then be faced with the awful reality that none of the plans are going to happen and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
