Tuesday 28th July
.
I carried you for almost eight months
My heart beating with yours
Developing, forming, nurturing
Creating a love that endures
.
Then when you were ready
Launching yourself upon the world
For thirty wonderful years
Watching as your life story unfurled
.
11,011 days
Or 30 years, 1 month, 23 days
You might be gone
But you remain with me always
.
My darling Angel son

Your posts always cut right into the heart of grief, and you always say something in plain, simple words that expose something so deep and difficult for many to express at all.

I can feel the love you have for your son. I have 2 sons myself, plus 2 daughters. They are my gems as well. I can identify with you, even tho I didn’t bear them like you did for 9 months.
