Sammy’s Sunshine Project

01/16/2025

Had a tug at my heart strings this morning. I was going though all the papers and artwork that was in the kids backpacks. I found this sweet little wish list our oldest son Calvin wrote. ❤️

“ If I had one Christmas wish it would be getting to see my three pets and my baby brother back. This would be my Christmas wish.
Love Calvin 8 years old. “

Sometimes I feel guilty for being so wrapped up in my own grief on bad days that I don’t realize how much loosing Sammy affected our other children and family. We’ve been working on opening up our feelings about Sammy together as a family. Whether it is looking at pictures or imagining what he would be doing in that moment, or just talking about him and what we miss about him. Grief is such an interesting thing, how it changes and evolves and how far its branches reach. ❤️

Working on some hats today, I guess I was working a little to hard! Looks like I need to find my back up hooks! 😂

I’ve used this hook since I made my very first hats in the hospital, so I guess it finally wore out. Maybe, just maybe I can glue/tape it back together and get a little more use out of it! ❤️

🌊☀️ Super great news!! ☀️🌊

We are collaborating with Simply Mae to create Sammy’s Sunshine Project merch! She is a local small business and an absolute sweetheart! We are so excited to be working with her.

As of right now we are looking at different options for shirts (sweatshirts, crew necks, T-shirts ect.) that will have our logo, and will have the option to add Sammy’s or your own Angle Baby/Babies name. Also we are looking to add Beanies with our logo as well. ☀️❤️

Make sure to follow our page for more details as we get a plan made for orders! ☀️❤️🌊

Huge shout out to Simply Mae for making this super cute crewneck with our logo! ☀️🌊❤️

If we receive enough interest, I'd love to start a line with our logo design and the option to add your own Angel Babies to the sleeve, and maybe even some hats with our logo! ☀️

Let us know your thoughts in the comments! ☀️🌊❤️ Simply Mae

I just needed to share this amazing fellow momma of an angel. All the proceeds from her products go back to families of pregnancy and infant loss! ❤️

Each of these very special ornaments were gifted to us on what should have been Sammy’s first Christmas. They hold such a special place in our hearts, so they go near the top of the tree every year. 🎄

The first ornament (wooden Angel) was gifted to us by a family member. I loved it so much I had more made to gift to our family.

The second ornament was gifted to us by all the amazing nurses from the Birthplace where Sammy was born. These nurses are so wonderful and absolute angels. We are so thankful for each and every one of them!

The third ornament was gifted to me by one of my OB doctors that I became very close with during my stay, and had actually had as a doctor with one of my older children!

Feel free to share ornaments or holiday decorations that are special to your family in the comments! 🎄

The holidays are always difficult for us, but we choose to take the time to enjoy the joyful moments. We turned on the lights tonight and I thought to myself how beautiful our tree looked. It might not be the fanciest tree, and is starting to show how well loved it is. The kids have rearranged the ornaments a billion times (and it’s toppled over a few times 🤭) and the star sits a little crooked. But so much love and efforts put into it by our family and that makes it perfect in my eyes. 🎄

It has been a busy and stressful couple weeks for me, so I apologize for not being more active on the page. My family could use some well wishes, prayers, love and light right now. ☀️

My grandpa has been admitted to the hospital for a little over a week. Things are looking up but we have quite a ways to go still. Our family is taking shifts staying with him and grandpa really enjoys it.

The first few days visiting was a bit triggering for me, because the view from his hospital room is almost the same view I had while I was in the hospital last year with Sammy. My grandpa also had two hallucinations of a black crow flying in his room and landing in the chair I always sit in. I feel like Sammy is definitely visiting him!
