Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts. Somehow we made it through one of the worst days of my life. I think the hardest time I had was when we went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet. I was thinking I should be buying a cake or presents for my baby girl, not flowers for her grave. But we had a quiet day of rememberence. Thank you once again for your support.

ttc #2 is a go!

In honor of Mary Rose's birthday, I am posting a poem I wrote for her.
My husband and others have written poems about my daughter. SO I thought I would share what I wrote.

How I have dreamt of you
Imagining the softness of your skin
The blushing of your cheeks
How I have hungered for your laughter
Pictured your perfect chubby hands
Reaching for me, revelling in the knowledge
You are loved by me
How I long for the warmth of your body
FIlling the empty ache in the void of the
"C" that is my furled body & soul
Though I bear others, love others, cherish others
My heart will always have a hole
which only you can fill and make complete
Know that a piece of me
Will always be missing
My soul will always be searching
My womb will always be aching
For my dearest Mary Rose
