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.

Friday Funny: Frozen
After a pretty mild winter thus far, we've been thrown right into a deep freeze this past week. I thought this little poem was a perfect fit for this week's Friday Funny.
It is a crazy winter this year. Today we've had rain and all our snow is gone again. Next there will be a flash freeze and start the cycle all over again.
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.

Well, we knew it would come sometime. I think we're getting a touch of the white stuff this weekend perhaps. Stay warm!

The look on that cat's face is priceless!
