5 years ago this month, i was pregnant with you
5 years ago this month, i craved mexican food
5 years ago this month, we were about to move from the home where you began
5 years ago this month, i was still nauseated
5 years ago this month, everything was going perfectly
5 years ago this month, we'd already chosen names for you
5 years ago this month, we'd already purchased your crib bedding
5 years ago this month, i knew nearly nothing about the many terms for losing a child
5 years ago this month, we didn't know yet that we'd never get to hold you
5 years ago next month, a lot of things changed forever
p.s. {if there was any doubt, i still miss you}
:'(
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad for you, but am so...I don't know, appreciative that you show that you remember your precious little one, and all these little details. How special that you haven't tried to forget, but you choose to remember and reflect. Thanks
Jenn, beautiful and poignant. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDelete((Hugs)) Jenn. Thank you for being so authentic- you are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for your loss, and the loss of your precious baby for all your family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI can just see this post on a journal page with stickers or rubber stamps, maybe in bullet points. You have such skill for chosing words that evoke senses and memory without getting flowery.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's something that becomes a part of who we are... Your post brought tears to my eyes. (((hugs))) to you! <3
