A Letter To The Baby I Lost

MY MISCARRIAGE STORY

Dear Sweet Baby,

For this short window of time, it was just you and me.

God breathed life into your soul and chose me to carry you.

But then suddenly, you slipped away and fell instead into God's loving arms.

Now you will only know the innocence of life in the womb and the peace of life in the heavens - nothing in between.

You will not have to know sadness, disappointment, fear or pain on Earth.

For that, I rejoice.

But still, I will never get to hold you, see your smile, kiss you or hear your voice on earth.

For that, I grieve.

Although you were physically taken from me, you will always be part of me.

I like to think that I will always be a part of you, too, because all you ever knew of this world lied nestled below my beating heart.

Please carry me within you now, and let my love for you keep your tiny body warm like a baby blanket that I never got to wrap you in.

I don't even have a picture of you to clutch. But my body knew you, my DNA became part of you, and my soul will forever know you.

Love,

Mommy
