Anonymous said...: I just wanted to let you know that your blog was the first one I read after the death of my daughter in December at 29 weeks. I can't tell you how similar your emotions are too mine and how comforting it is to know that I'm not alone. I'm not a blogger myself but reading about your experience has been extremely healing for me. I read your blog when I want to smile and sometime when I need to cry. Just wanted to let you know.; March 5, 2009 at 11:54 AM

Never forgetting Gregory said...: It is amazing just seeing that picture can do to your emotions. I am sorry that the "positive" test didn't lead to a living baby for you. Hugs.; March 11, 2009 at 1:26 AM

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.
