I sat there, in silence,
remembering the silence we shared
two summers ago.
When you were only a grain,
in my pregnant belly.
I sat there, willing my memory
To go back and find you there,
A squirming little life,
Full of promise and joy.
I sat there, in silence
and I remembered the times,
we shared, just you and me.
Those dark nights at home, when your little bones were sore.
Those long days on the ICU ward,
with only each other
and the beeping machines pumping chemo into your tiny frame
as company.
I sat there, with my precious memories
of you, sweet baby boy,
feeling you close,
so very close
to my very bruised heart.
I sat there, in silence,
and for a split moment in time,
our love
managed to transcend death and space and time,
and we were together,
once again.

You express so much in so few words; my eyes leak as I wish you could touch in person and memory both.
Yes, so do I, Deb, so so much :-(.xx
So beautiful, so heartbreaking Oana. You write so well, i hope it brings you a small amount of consolation. Hugs xx
It does, Emma, it does. More often than not, this is the only way to remove that heavy burden, called grief, lift off my chest. Writing is my therapy, my catharsis.xx
Such a beautiful post Oana, and one that I so wish you didn’t have to write x x
Thank you, Cass, I wish I could do a magic spell so no child has to die, ever again!xx
