Dear precious one,

For those few weeks I had you to myself my life was changed profoundly.
You were hidden beneath my heart and my love for you grew in it.
You came to trust me with your life. 
Oh what a life I had planned for you!

When I lost you, I lost a lifetime of hopes, plans, dreams, aspirations. 
Part of my future simply vanished overnight. 
There wasn't enough time to convince others how special and important you were.
You are gone, but others aren't mourning your passing.

They tell me that no normal person would cry all night over a tiny,
unfinished baby, or get depressed and withdraw day after day. 
No one else would, so why am I?

You were there just those few weeks, my little one. 
You darted in and out of my life too quickly,
but it seems that's all the time you needed to leave your signature on my heart
and give me a small glimpse of eternity.

Love, Mommy
