My heart aches for you and your family.. for the loss and the love of sweet Margot. <br />Life has certainly been altered since the stillbirth of our fourth child, Cullen, and the shitstorm called secondary infertility (on top of a sad medical diagnosis) that has also come into being since his life and death. <br />Wishing you peace as you continue your travels.. it is a such a winding path that we walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504259906351329000.post-43005636619423435692011-09-01T13:58:30.680-04:002011-09-01T13:58:30.680-04:00Saw your note on Chris Guillebeau's blog. 1 Se...Saw your note on Chris Guillebeau's blog. 1 Sept is always a poignant day for me as was the day my girlfriend's nine month old son died. I held him the night before then had to fly back home to my daughter. I had to pick up my daughter from school and I got out of the car and held her so tightly. On the way home we got the call. Life is short and all babies are special, right now, today. Not tomorrow. I love it that there is still a space in every day for Margot. Sometimes people don't need a lifetime to change our lives - nine months is enough.Fiona Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01525958429026423167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504259906351329000.post-17278345365648335972011-08-30T07:51:44.419-04:002011-08-30T07:51:44.419-04:00I love this.

Maybe that is why I talk to him so much inside my head. Just so I can tell him the things that I would have if he were here today. I admit I used to feel crazy saying that I do that, but now I feel sad because I don't do it near as often as I used to. Thank you for sharing your words with Margot.

It gives me a little hope amid the darkness. I hope you’re okay with that."<br /><br />I love that you "hope she's okay with that." almost as if asking Margot's permission to feel that way. Though people often attribute wishes or feelings to our children, it doesn't bother me that you did that. Maybe because you know this life, and others do not. You are her father, though you didn't get to know her in the traditional sense, you know she is the perfect combination of you and her mother. And who do you know better than yourself and your soulmate? So you are entitled to believe that your daughter would want you to be happy. You would have raised her to feel that way anyhow. Much love and peace to you, K, Stella and Margot.Mrs. Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859338140200333079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504259906351329000.post-30141495433840327052011-08-25T20:36:21.445-04:002011-08-25T20:36:21.445-04:00"Some days I wish you could have talked to me..."Some days I wish you could have talked to me for a few minutes before you died." <br /><br />That is a thought/wish I never considered, but when I read it, it made me cry instantly wishing it had been possible.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327445812846183545noreply@blogger.com
