A little more About Us

---

Dealing with the Loss of Fallon has been so many things. I have felt a need to ensure her name, her life and her story is not forgotten. I have had a pull that I could not get rid of to create something to keep her memory and the memory of all of the angel friends alive. When I first started talking about my grief and the loss of Fallon so many people started talking about their grief and reaching out to me telling me how what I shared has helped them with their losses from 2, 7, and 14 + years ago. It has helped family and friends communicate with their loved ones who lost someone as well as my family and friends communicate with me about the loss of Fallon.  I had no outlet, could not find a counselor so when I spoke and wrote about Fallon it was and still is so raw and unfiltered that people connected with the emotions. 

So, with that Fallon's Flight was born. She may have gained her wings, but she is still flying over sending her love to so many people and helping them through grief. She is showing grief is not something to run from or ignore but to address and put on the forefront. Grief and loss are traumatic and those who are no longer here with us deserve for their name and the love that was created for them to carry on.

Our beautiful daughter, Fallon Rowe Clary, was born March 26, 2022, at 12:36 pm almost exactly 24 hours after my water broke at 35 weeks and 5 days. She was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and had a tough battle ahead of her, but we were ready to take it on. Due to her complex Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) her diagnosis was fatal without surgical intervention.  She was closely monitored since the moment we found out about her heart condition at our anatomy scan. She went through open heart surgery at 5 days old on March 31st, 2022, at 7 am. She was a miracle and was doing so well they had started to talk about her getting up on feeding and possibly going home for sometimes until her next surgery.  In the early morning of April 4th, 2022, an unknown factor occurred, and Fallon went into cardiac arrest unable to be recover. The doctors tried to revive her for 90 minutes until I said no more, and her heart took her final beat in my arms at 4:30 am.

Still to this day it is unknown what caused her to go into cardiac arrest. The doctors are just as lost as we are as everything was showing her on the recovery with no warning signs of something to come. Our hearts are missing our precious baby every day, she deserves a place on this earth and to be talked about and not a hushed whisper in passing.
