Tuesday's Hope: November 2012
http://tuesdayshope.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 15, 2012. I wore a blue dot. Three year old or four year old next year? The woman with the clipboard at the door asked us. Three year old," we replied in unison. Great, take a name tag with a blue dot, these are for the three year old parents next year, and you can find others with a blue dot and chat to them to get to know them! We were the first at the kinder information night last night, because that's just how we roll. We're nothing if not punctual, Simon and I. She said. I thi...

Ezra's Space: Right Where I Am: Two years, nine months, and 1 day
http://ezramalik.blogspot.com/2011/05/right-where-i-am-two-years-nine-months.html
Monday, May 30, 2011. Right Where I Am: Two years, nine months, and 1 day. The car stops and I pop out and open the door to the backseat where a little boy grins back at me from his carseat. 'Ready to go to a new playground? This is where I am right now. Happy raising my living child. The rainbow baby who came after. Content even. And yet the grief is still there. What Ezra taught me is to love and mean it, to find joy and inhabit it. This is how I have come to live my days since he left. I was going to ...

Ezra's Space: Two years...
http://ezramalik.blogspot.com/2010/08/two-years.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. I had absolutely no inkling how drastically and completely the world was about to come crashing down around me. In the two years since, I've come to own my new self.more sad, more cynical, more connected, more compassionate. But sometimes I do miss that naive happy woman. My sweet sweet Ezra, I miss you and love you so very much. Every day. Especially today. Always. Thinking of you and your family today. Remembering your beloved son, Ezra. August 29, 2010 at 8:50 AM. Holding you ...

Ezra's Space: July 2010
http://ezramalik.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 16, 2010. I never intended to stop writing in this space when my Sunflower arrived. I will admit that for much of the past six and a half months, I pretty much shelved my grief. It's not that it hasn't been present. I haven't had. This was supposed to be the easy part, the happy ending, no? I just miss him, I really really do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Note from Ezra's Mommy. Ezras Mommy and Daddy. The letters spell Ezra in Hebrew. Forever imprinted in our Hearts. Glow in the Woods.

Ezra's Space: April 2010
http://ezramalik.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 18, 2010. Guest Post from Ezra and Micah's Daddy: Burying Your Child. On Friday, Rachel Maddow had a man on her show. His daughter had been killed in 1995 in the Oklahoma City bombing. He said the pain is still there. When your parents die, you bury them on the mountaintop, he said. But when your child dies, you bury them in your heart, and keep them there. So simple, yet so profound! Sunday, April 11, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Note from Ezra's Mommy. Ezras Mommy and Daddy. Betwee...

Ezra's Space: February 2010
http://ezramalik.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. A Homecoming.of sorts. Yesterday was my 6 week postpartum appointment. Never mind that Micah is now 8 1/2 weeks old - the blizzards of 2010 have postponed my last two scheduled appointments. In fact a blizzard was predicted yesterday too - luckily all we got was flurries. So you're here to followup on your procedure? Um nothis is my 6 week appointment. I gave birth to a son. He died. I call that a procedure. There was a certain sense of.dare I say it. But I don't. Medical...

Ezra's Space: January 2010
http://ezramalik.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 13, 2010. While pregnant with Sunflower I never could envision this part.even up to the day we went to the hospital to be induced, I didn't fully believe that we'd be leaving with a real live baby. Even while nesting and preparing for his arrival, it didn't truly feel real. Afterall, I've never had this happy ending before. Saturday, January 9, 2010. Micah, in Hebrew, means 'who resembles G-d? Amir, in Hebrew and Arabic, means 'prince'. We believe Micah chose this name for himself ...
