A letter

Dearest little one,

I miss you so. You were such a part of me, although I never knew you. We spent five months doing everything together – eating, sleeping, going to work, taking walks, seeing friends and family. I played music for you on the piano as often as I could. Your daddy and I had such hopes and dreams for you, and were anxiously counting down the days til we could meet you. Remember how you waved to us when we saw you on the sonogram? Oh darling, how we wanted you!

But you were taken from us, precious little one. We would have done anything in the world to save you if we could have. I mourn the loss of your life and the emptiness your death has left in your daddy and me. You can never know the depth of our hurt and grief over losing you, nor the great love we will always have in our hearts for you.

I do not understand why we have been separated – I don’t think I will ever know. At times my tears seem endless, but, sweet son, I hold onto the hope that I will hold you someday, in heaven.

Until then, all my love,
Your mommy
