Our story…

In July of this year, at 22 weeks pregnant, our worlds changed forever when we lost our sweet baby, Theodore (Teddy) Mihalic.

There are no words to fully capture the depth of that heartbreak - the dreams we had, the love we felt, and the silence that followed. This grief has been heavy, but there is also space for remembrance and hope.

To celebrate our Teddy, we are participating in the Ottawa Butterfly Run - an event supporting Roger Neilson Children's Hospice, walking alongside families who have also experienced pregnancy or infancy loss. 

Thank you for supporting us, for saying his name and for sharing our love that never got to grow the way we hoped. 

Justin, Shannon & Ben
