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.
LOL I didn't bother - figured there would be plenty of replays on TV and online. I need my rest to keep up with my toddler more than to see the wedding live. ;)
I didn't wake up for it, but I did wake up in time to see them leaving the church. I, too, figured there will be plenty of replays. In fact, they are replaying some highlights right now!
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.

I was curious to see her dress...but not that curious! She looked so gorgeous! She looks like a real princess. I hope they are happy together!
