Suddenly it dawned on me... the date struck like a lighting bolt. It jolted me straight up from where I sat. I have been blocking this moment... this memory. I knew it was there, I just didn't let myself bring it back. But some things are way too powerful... they are way too much connected to your whole being.
I should have been holding you right now... but I am not. I should be kissing softly your forehead, singing you to sleep. But I am not. Nine months... nine months since you came tiptoeing into our lives. You showered us with a new hope- one that we wold have never imagined to be deserving of. It's been nine months since you left us, with a soft whisper that lingered in our hearts, assuring us that your brief stay was real. Reassuring us that you chose us. Your soul was once one with mine, as it shall ever be. Your light was once with us, and it shall ever burn bright.
That was beautifl. And I'm so sorry.
