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.

Should Have Been
Today is the first day of the 2010-11 school year. And my broken heart just broke some more.
Making my way through life with an angel on my shoulder and another one by my side. Follow me (and my dog) as I stumble through my new normal after the deaths of my daughter and husband.

Yes...it should have been. I'm sorry, Ter. Wish I had one of those for Michelle, also. (((BIG HUGS)))
I'm so sorry Ter. Thinking of you and Baby Bear today.
Terri, I wish so much that the photo was different. (((((hugs)))
Aw jeez. I hate how often you are hit by stuff like this. Sending hugs.

Ouch. That hurts. I'm so sorry for you. :(
I think about things like that also. It's weird how it changes everything in your life. (((HUGS)))
