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.

It Made My Heart Smile
One day at work last week, a little boy came up to me and gave me a dandelion. It made my heart smile! I brought it home to take a photo (even though it wilted by then) so I would never forget.
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.

So sweet! Stopping by... from my blog ;-) I was looking at old posts and stopping by commenter's pages.
What a sweetie! Glad he added a bit of sunshine to your day!
How sweet! I always love it when my kids pick me dandelions!
