Dear Angel Baby
Dear Baby,
Even though you were with us only a short time, the size of the hole you have left in our hearts feels quite large. You were wanted and loved from the very first moment we knew you were there. Chances are good that we won't ever know why you left us. The potential reasons are myriad and, ultimately, whatever one it actually is won't make much difference. The result is the same. You aren't here. We don't get to see you grow up. We don't get to watch who you become. Your sister won't get a chance to know you. She won't even have any independent recollection that you ever existed. But we will know. And we will remember. We feel privileged that you chose us to be your parents, even if only for a few weeks. Be well, my child. Your imprint on my heart will last a lifetime.
Love, Mom
