Two long years today

[lauren&k&p&a&j&b's mom]

What kind of world is this
Where hello and goodbye can happen on the same day
Where a loved and longed-for child can die before his mother
Leaving endless time for emptiness
Remembering only hopes that shattered, plans that vanished
And dreams that didn’t come true?

Little clothes and toys
Once symbolic of the joy to come
Now too painful to look at
But impossible to throw away
They’re all I have left
Of my little son who couldn’t stay.


Remembering my sweet Paul on his second birthday.

Praying today is gentle on you.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to you, sweetie, as you both celebrate & mourn Paul & the precious, yet limited, time you had with him. My heart hurts for you, my friend....

Thanks so much for the support. Would you believe the miscarriage ended up happening this evening as well? I've been walking around for a week knowing there was no heartbeat and that it could happen at any time, but naturally it ended up being today, as if Paul's birthday wasn't upsetting enough in and of itself. Unreal.
