BY JILLIAN JOHNSON WITH COMMENTARY FROM DR. CHRISTIE DEL CASTILLO-HEGYI

Landon would be five today if he were still alive. It’s a very hard birthday–five. It’s a milestone birthday. Most kiddos would be starting kindergarten at this age. But not my little guy. I wanted to share for a long time about what happened to Landon, but I always feared what others would say and how I’d be judged. But I want people to know how much deeper the pain gets.
