Today I want to wish Tim a happy Father's Day. As a father, and a born "fixer," it is so hard for Tim that he couldn't "fix" his boys, and that he can't "fix" things for me. Yet, instead of giving up, retreating, not caring, he gives back. Tim wants to make this world that his boys left a better one. He wants to make life better for others in any way he can. His loving and giving spirit and his strength are the epitome of fatherhood. Whether he holds his children in his arms or his heart, Tim is a dedicated father and husband, and I am ever so grateful he is mine.
To all those angel daddies...I hope today you can find some peace and feel the presence of your babies (and that includes babies who are grown!) that have gone too soon. You may feel like less of a father, but in truth you are a stronger father as you father your angel babies. You are not forgotten, nor are your precious angels.
To honor Tim and all the angel daddies, here is my absolute favorite picture of him and Henry. It was taken last 4th of July, when Henry was about 3 1/2 months old. The love and adoration these two have for each other radiates from their faces. Tim, Henry, Brady...I love you!
Meet Henry
Henry's Story
Henry Leland Seretta was born on April 14, 2014. This little monster invaded our hearts even before he was born. He was a completely healthy and happy baby, until he started getting an ear infection and colds in mid-October. We finally got rid of the ear infection, but the cold symptoms never fully disappeared. Over the weekend of November 8 & 9, Henry got significantly sicker. He was admitted to Children's Hospital in Omaha on November 10, 2014, and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on November 11, 2014. He fought hard for nearly two weeks, before passing away on November 22, 2014. This blog depicts our journey through the grief of losing Henry. If you would like to read more about his medical journey, you can visit his CaringBridge page. More photos and community posts can be found at our Hope for Henry Facebook page. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
