With An Angel On My Shoulder: WW: Elephant Shoes

The Poem That Inspired My Subtitle

A Song for Daniel, Stillborn
by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)

When I held you in my arms that day
Born so still, born anyway
How was I to know to say goodbye?
No one knew just what to do
Except tell me I'd get over you
As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie

But I remember to remember
I can't forget just to forget
Your memories are a part of me
Connecting me to what comes next.

And even after all this while
I think of you, sometimes I smile
Memories of my unknown child, fade slow.
I've held you in my heart each day
Life so short, life anyway
Memories are meant to say hello.

WW: Elephant Shoes

Ok, so they are actually slippers
...
but let me tell you why
I wish I could've gotten them for my little girl.
...
Go look in the mirror
and mouth the words
"Elephant Shoes".
...
Now mouth the words
"I love you".
...
They look exactly the same.
...
