“Johnny, today marks one week before you were due,” she captioned a photo of her necklace on Instagram. “While everyone is all excited and full of cheer for the holidays I find myself plastering a smile on my face just so I don’t make it obvious how much it hurts inside. Is it crazy to miss you as much as I do? Am I insane for thinking about what you may look like and daydreaming about what could be if you remained safe and sound inside me…it’s been 5 months and sometimes it still feels like I just lost you yesterday.”
