Thank you so much for thinking of us yesterday. It was a lovely day and we had beautiful sunshine so we couldn't have asked for more really.
If you haven't seen my other post in losses, here is a poem which Paul wrote for Evelyn, there wasn't a dry eye in the place when the chaplain read it out:
~ Evelyn ~
Daffodils, in bloom in spring
lay all around as Evelyn
briefly shone upon our world
Born asleep but free from hurt
Carried for twenty-two and five
with endless love and blooming smiles
She popped like candy when arrived
did somersaults while snug inside
Then in she came with such a “whoosh”
still in her waters, it’s said it’s luck
Too small for life
Asleep
Still hush
A rainbow daubed the sky above
No prouder time can we recall
So humbling to see it all
Yet pangs of heartbreak as it dawned…
We’ll never get to take her home
We lay, a long and sleepless night
’til morning broke the new day’s light
We drew the courage up to ring
and waited as they brought her in
A mouth as small as Mum’s right thumb
concealed inside, her tiny tongue
Intricate hands to one day strum
or pluck the strings or bang the drums
Her head just didn’t suit her hat
Dad’s genes the likely cause of that!
And his lips too, to pout or pose
but fortune gave her mum’s small nose
Though someday it will come to all
the time when we’re condemned to soil
While us above have earned our spoils
it’s harder when it’s one so small
Our tiny girl who could have been
if given time, but anything
Yet here we stand with kith and kin
to say goodbye
to Evelyn
Although we sleep with tired eyes
with each new morn’ the sun will rise
and over time we’ll realise
she didn’t leave,
but stayed inside
AFM, I am doing ok. The tears are less but the hurt is still there inside. I guess I am just learning how to live with the pain more. I am a little concerned that I may be suffering from empty arms syndrome though as I desparately miss being pregnant and I really want to try for another baby now. I am trying to figure out if I want another baby or if I just want Evelyn back. It feels really odd.
I hope you, families and bumps are all doing ok xxx
