In my perfect world…
… I’d get to count your fingers and toes today
In my perfect world…
…today you’d meet your Daddy and his silly sense of humor
In my perfect world…
…Ella would wear the “I’m the big sister” t-shirt
In my perfect world…
…the sleep deprivation would begin today
In my perfect world…
…Claire would have another sibling to boss around
In my perfect world…
…there’d be a little more chaos in our family today
In my perfect world…
…today I’d be holding you instead of missing you

I hurt for you.
I am sorry. God bless you.
Putting this in words is an epitaph of sorts, a reminder,a testament to love.
This is your cross. I feel inadequate to say anything useful, but I know from my own suffering that we need to say something, to acknowledge you and your lost child.
Thank you for sharing.
Tina-Thanks for carrying this cross with me. I love you.
Holysaltwater-
Thank you for the empathy. It was kind of you to take the time to acknowledge my loss.
