“Each child brings their own energy, their own manifestation of consciousness, their own lessons. The ones we lost each gifted us with different pieces of the puzzle… leaving us that much more grateful for the ongoing master class we get to enjoy with this sweet, wise little one,” James adds, going on to thank “everyone in our community” for their support and honoring of their privacy.
“Life is beautiful ❤️,” James concludes the post.
