I don’t get that vibe about Zac at all. Tommy, yes, but not Zac. I don’t think Rachel and Johnny see him as some perfect replacement child. They wanted siblings for Mackenzie but not a replacement. I get the impression they are working hard to still honour her in their lives while letting Zac have his own identity. I’m sure for any loss parent there will be moments of comparison or longing for the same with the lost child.
Replacement was a poor choice of words and I acknowledge that. I think losing a child is horrible, and I’ve never been in that situation.
I do see what you’re saying.
