Life After Ada: 4 months

4 months

Yesterday was 4 months since Ada was born - and I just now realized it. Maybe that's a sign of progress that I'm not dwelling on the dates...?

Never forgetting Gregory said...: Maybe that is a good sign. Ada will always be in your heart and mind, whether you dwell on the dates or not, so I think this means peaceful progress.; November 17, 2008 at 1:43 PM

Cradling Song

We cannot care for you the way we wanted, or cradle you or listen to your cry;

but separated as we are by silence, our love will not die.

We cannot watch you growing into childhood, and find a new uniqueness every day;

but special as you would have been among us, forever you still will stay.

So through the mess of anger, grief and tiredness, through tensions which are not yet reconciled,

we give to God the worship of our sorrow and you, our dear child.

Lord, in your arms which cradle all creation we rest and place our baby beyond death

believing that she now, alive in heaven, breathes with your own breath.

By John Bell
