In Remembrance

[Sandstone]

My stillborn first child would have been 32 today.

I wonder who he would have become. Which of the family traits would he have inherited? I can picture him as a fair haired, slightly plump young man, smiling and confidently outgoing as his sisters have become. Would he have found his special person, or would he be one of the family who held back a little cautiously from commitment? He might have had children by now.

I wish there was a memorial for him. In 1985, Spring came late, and all the daffodils came into bloom the weekend he was born. I've always said every daffodil is his memorial, but I realise now that after I am gone there will be nothing to say he ever existed. My son, who in dying saved my life. PBH. 8/4/85

I am so sorry Sandstone. My second child was stillborn. So many feelings and unanswered questions.
I do have a memorial. I insisted on it.
But you can still have one made or make one yourself.
Its never too late.
My Dr would not allow me to go to the funeral. So still to this day so much of that whole very painful and important part of my life seems surreal.
Do what you need to do to make a memorial for your precious son.
Sending you tender hugs of understanding.
