We finally told Miller our 7 year old boy about Miles. We waited to tell him that there was a beauty baby boy that was born exactly one year before him who fought for his life in the NICU for a month. On Miles 8th birthdate, I bought cupcakes and we sat as a family and told Miller about his brother Miles who he never met. He had no reaction at first. Later though, he asked if Santa could bring him a baby brother. At school a few days later, he cried whe he realiszed a schoolmate’s name was Miles. His teacher comforted him and asked him to draw a picture. Miles is the taller boy.
