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.

The Odd Life









Spent another beautiful day today at the beach. Marshall surfed and I tanned and read a book. Mostly I just enjoyed the fresh salt air and cool breeze. I dipped my toes in the surf and looked for shells. There is always something so refreshing and exfoliating about the beach. It was a relaxing day just hanging out with my husband.

This evening we went on date night - dinner and movie. We had both wanted to see The Odd Life of Timothy Green so that was the movie of choice tonight. I have to admit, I cried. It was perhaps an odd movie for us to chose to go see based on the subject matter and their inability to have a child hit home with both of us. Despite that, it was a good movie and I would like to see it again sometime down the road when Nolan's death isn't quite so fresh. I think the movie might have a different effect on me when I'm in a different mindset than I currently am.
