I absolutely loved that post... it was beautiful. It also inspired me to write a little poem for both of my boys to capture one of the things that I know I'll miss the most as Raylan grows up... baby hands. Normally if I write it's to one of the boys or the other because the things I say about them are so different...but this one just seemed to fit together. I also put the picture at the bottom with it in my blog post because it's one of my favorite pictures of me and Raylan.
My sweet Peyton,
In silence you made your way into this world
Perfect and whole, my first baby.
They placed you upon my chest and I was in awe,
This wonderful, magical, beautiful boy,
and yet you didn't wake, you didn't cry.
I wrapped your little hand around my finger,
I squeezed and wished with my whole heart you'd squeeze it back.
That perfect little hand,
That moment that was almost like with any baby.
In that moment I held your hand,
Like any Mommy would do.
My little Raylan,
How long I waited,
To feel you squeeze my hand right back.
You too came out just perfect,
They placed you upon my chest and I was in awe,
This wonderful, magical beautiful boy,
and you were awake, and you cried.
To this day you squeeze my finger with your hand,
There are no words.
Every Mommy loves that feeling,
that little hand upon her finger.
So very few will understand just how much it means to me.
When you fall asleep with that hand around my finger,
The whole wide world is there, in my hand.
In silence you made your way into this world
Perfect and whole, my first baby.
They placed you upon my chest and I was in awe,
This wonderful, magical, beautiful boy,
and yet you didn't wake, you didn't cry.
I wrapped your little hand around my finger,
I squeezed and wished with my whole heart you'd squeeze it back.
That perfect little hand,
That moment that was almost like with any baby.
In that moment I held your hand,
Like any Mommy would do.
My little Raylan,
How long I waited,
To feel you squeeze my hand right back.
You too came out just perfect,
They placed you upon my chest and I was in awe,
This wonderful, magical beautiful boy,
and you were awake, and you cried.
To this day you squeeze my finger with your hand,
There are no words.
Every Mommy loves that feeling,

Re: f/u indulge my writing
I wish I could express my emotions into words...i've always been terrible at writing.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I find that writing is a wonderful way to express my grief, to spread awareness and to relate to other loss families.
