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.

Summer Reading
Over the summer I read several books. I'm so glad to finally have my reading mojo back!
Ter We have the same taste in books, I have read all of them I don't know why but handle with care was a hard book for me I cried a lot while reading it.
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.

You've read a lot of books! I've managed a good number of kids' books, but sadly not one adult book that I can recall. Where did the summer go?
Yay for regaining your reading mojo!
