78 days. 🤍
That’s how many days we were blessed to have our son, Carson, here with us.
Today I embroidered 78 onto a sweatshirt. Such a simple number, but to us, it represents an entire lifetime of love. Seventy-eight days of holding him, loving him, knowing him, and being his parents. And even though we would have given anything for more days, those 78 will always matter. 🤍
As October comes to a close, so does Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. I wanted to create something that honors Carson while also giving others a way to honor the people they’ve loved and lost.
We’ve all seen the viral tattoos representing the number of days someone had with a loved one before they passed. They’re incredibly meaningful—but if you’re looking for something a little less painful and a lot less permanent, this might be your version. 🤍
So I want to know your number.
How many days did you get with someone you loved?
Maybe it was 2 days.
78 days.
10,000 days.
30,000 days.
Whatever your number is, every single one of those days mattered.
Comment your number below. If you’d like, tell us who it represents and share a little about them, too. 🕊️
To honor Carson and all of the people behind these numbers, Cardinal Apparel Co. will choose one person from the comments and bless them with a custom embroidered sweatshirt of their own, featuring their special number.
🤍 Winner will be chosen Friday, October 30 at 8:00 PM EST.
This one is for 78 days with Carson Lee—and a lifetime of carrying him with us. 🤍
