So I am going to try to do a PJ. I hope everyone doesn't get bored!
History:
Matt and I met in 1997, when I was 16, he was getting ready to turn 17, and started dating immediately. I sort of knew we were going to be together for a very long time. Just a feeling... a warm fuzzy one!
In 2001, I decided to join the Coast Guard. It was a big step for me. The day I was to ship to basic, I found out I was pregnant. On April 25, 2002, Isabelle was born.
I was not going to get married because I was pregnant, I wanted our day to be perfect.
On October 16, 2004, we were married at the lake across from our house with Isabelle as our flower girl. It was beautiful, albeit a bit cold. I did everything myself, invites, decor, flowers, even the cake. I was afraid someone else would mess something up.
In the summer of 2005, we planned to add another to our family. On May 11, 2006, Levi Douglas was brought to this earth, but only for a short while. He was my blue- eyed bouncing boy.
Late September - early October 2007, we spent 10 glorious days in WDW with him. It was wonderous and inspiring to watch him light up (it was Isabelle's second trip and she loved showing her baby brother the magic). Five days after our return home, on the date October 7, we were t-boned be a 19 yo who ran a red light at 50 mph. Matt and I were unconscious and in and out of hospitals for days, Isabelle was physically OK(thank goodness), but she was 5 and can retell the whole incident. Levi was pronounced braindead. We weren't even allowed to know for nearly 2 days. The doctors and nurses, while we were being cared for, kept telling us he wasn't doing very well.
On October 16, 2007, Matt and I were released from our fourth hospital. We went straight to the funeral home to begin planning for Levi's funeral, then went to look at headstones. It was a sad way to spend our third anniversary.
Matt and I have talked several times about having a VR on a different day that we can use to celebrate on. We want to be able to remember Levi in his short time, but we also want to remember our anniversary as the beautiful time it is, not in the sorrowful way it is now.
So here I am, nearly two years after loosing my Angel, looking forward to something beautiful again...

As long as you are fully aware of what you CAN have, and what you CAN'T have, and are OK with that, then I think you will have a wonderful experience with
