A Tear Fell

Today ~ A Tear Fell

I rode by our old house by chance today And I just happened to look that way. For a moment, I saw myself pregnant holding my baby son in that front porch swing. However, that vision did not last for long.  Soon I remembered my baby son and daughter are gone.

.
Just when I thought I was doing so well, Before I knew it ~ a tear fell.

.
Then on Sunday as I sat in church I looked around and missed you so much. I saw other girls in their pretty dresses and boys in their Sunday suits. And I remembered my little babies were just as cute.

.

People all think I’m doing well; They don’t know today ~ a tear fell.

.
When I am reminded of what might have been, when life catches me off guard, That’s when I seem to be hit so hard. It seems all thoughts lead back to you, Matthew and Laura. I take each day and try to get through,

They say time makes it better, but I cannot tell; I only know today ~ a tear fell.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
