… little did we know how our lives would change the very next day. Nothing could’ve prepared us. Nobody prepared us. It just happened.

Through grieving, family, friends, time and more grieving, family, friends we got here. A year later. I still can’t really believe what actually happened. That so much joy and happiness could be ripped out in a moment’s notice and replaced with a void that can never be filled again. I can’t believe Koen is not here with us all today.

But we can still hold him in our hearts and especially on his birthday tomorrow, we will remember and celebrate him. And we would love for all of you to join us on his special day in your thoughts and in your hearts.

I can’t help but think that tomorrow I will wake up to find him in his crib and that the past year was just a really terrible dream.

Sleep well, sweet little Koen. Tomorrow is your big day.
