6 weeks, 6 days

For 6 weeks and 6 days I got to call you mine.

I made plans for you.

Wondered if you'd be a boy or a girl.

Imagined you with curly hair like your mama and blue eyes like your daddy.

I Pictured us as a family of four.

For 6 weeks and 6 days you made Jamie a big brother.

Every night he'd ask to read his new special book.

He'd carry your picture around, so proud of his little peanut.

He was convinced he was having a baby sister.

For six weeks and 6 days we celebrated you.

Shared the news.

Prayed for you.

Everyone was so excited.

You were so loved, even from the very start.

From the moment I saw those two little lines you were our baby.

Then as quickly as you came into our lives, you were gone.

Just like that as if you never existed at all.

I may never get to hold you in my arms, but you'll forever be in my heart.

You will forever be a part of our story.
