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.

Happy 40th Birthday, Bear! (even though you're forever 37 yrs + 363 days old) ♥
Happy belated birthday to your Bear. I hope you are doing okay Ter. Thanks for stopping by, it was good to see your name there on my blog comments! I got a job a few months back and it has put such a damper in being able to blog hop and check on some of my favorite bloggers.
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.

Happy birthday, Bryan. I hope you and your sweet daughter are celebrating together. Send some love to Ter...she misses you both so much. (((HUGS)))
I think Joc(e) said it best. Wishing Bryan a very happy birthday. Ter, I hope you feel his presence and that of your sweet baby girl as well. ((HUGS))
It is just so wrong that he didn't get to celebrate this with you. Happy Birthday to your Bear ... and Hugs to you.
