'Even though child loss is still a somewhat taboo topic in our society, we never forget our children.'
"In the chaos of getting ready for family pictures, my 6-year-old daughter stopped me in my tracks. 'Mommy, I want to get a picture with Parker and Abby,'" said Stacey."Those two names caught me off guard. For six years, our family has been a party of three on the surface — me, my husband and our daughter. And this year our family picture would add one more, our rainbow baby.
"Some days I don't feel like explaining or getting that all too familiar look of sadness and pity when they learn that two of my children died."She continued, explaining that life has moved quickly, and people don't bring up Parker and Abby as much."As the years pass by, their names are spoken less frequently. New friends may not know our bittersweet journey and sometimes I find myself omitting their names when a stranger asks about my children," she wrote.
Stacey reassured her daughter that her late siblings would, of course, be included in the picture. In fact, they had already taken a photo three years prior using shadows to represent Abby and Parker . It hangs in their family room to this day. As soon as Stacey's family reached the destination for their family photo shoot, Peyton asked Teran if if the photo would actually be doable.
"As we got out of the car, my daughter ran up to our photographer, who just so happens to be a triplet mom herself. Peyton excitedly asked, 'Can I get a picture with Parker and Abby?!?'" explained Stacey."I looked at my friend and smiled as tears instantly formed in my eyes. As a parent of child loss, we face a difficult balance trying to celebrate our survivor, while grieving and remembering the children we lost.
