I recently wrote this post questioning what we do to our kids by saddling them with our grief for their missing siblings.
Bear gave me my answer tonight. You can read it, here.
The last two lines are, "My heart is bursting tonight with sadness, love and wonder. My gut is satisfied that we made every right decision when sharing Emma with her sisters."

You did make the right decision. I hope I can do the same with Ezra's little brother or sister one day.
I have thought about this quite a lot and I have a plan, I will frame George's footprints and hang them in our second child's room and if or when he or she asks I will tell.
I think it's important that our children know about their parents sadness in order to fully know their parents happiness. How could you keep such a beautiful thing secret?

Wow that gave me goose bumps. I believe you definitely made the right decision.
The fact that your younger daughters have a caring, open relationship and knowledge of sweet Emma is a gift.
