Two years--from Mommy
Dear Molly,
Today is your birthday. And the anniversary of your death. A day which will forever be memorialized as containing the greatest joy and the greatest sorrow of my life.
I continue to miss you terribly every minute of every day, my darling baby. You would be two years old today if you had lived, and I wish you were here to hold hands with, and to laugh with, and to play with, and to teach, and to be amazed by, and to learn from. We knew each other for such a brief amount of time--in the scheme of things--and yet my love for you is immense. As is my grief that you're not here.
I'm trying to make the best of life, baby...however much I can while still feeling the ache of your loss. Life is a great treasure, and I don't take any of it for granted. I have you to thank for that.
You also taught me to love more and to love deeper, and I'm so grateful I got to spend time with you--watching you suck on your hand, feeling you kick, and holding your body close to mine as your heart beat slower and slower and finally stopped. You left this world so silently, we didn't even realize the exact moment of your passing.
I'll always, always wish we could have had more time together. I wish....
My precious one, my child, my love....I miss you. I love you.
Love,
Mommy
