I recently joined a Photo of the Day group on Facebook. I enjoy taking photos and a friend suggested this group as a way for me to heal. I will try anything to see if it works!!
Today's "Theme" is SOMEONE I MISS! So, I posted this picture of our triplets in utero.
I have difficulty looking at this picture often, because it reminds me of a time when all three of our babies were healthy and alive. It brings back many memories, my only memories of our precious babies. I miss them moving inside of me. I miss preparing to be outnumbered by our children instantly. I miss the future plans that I made in my head. I miss deciding what to do for transportation, since not many vehicles would hold three baby seats. I MISS THEM!!!!
The ONLY thing that keeps me going on a daily basis is the promise, that I believe with all my heart, that I will someday hold our babies and spend an eternity with them.
Well said. I think that often what non-loss people forget is that it's not just the loss of the baby, but the loss of our hopes and dreams for them. Its the loss of a toddler, a pre-schooler, a teenager, etc. I have been missing mine terribly as well.
ReplyDeleteJenna, I am so sorry for you loss. That is exactly right. We lost more than just a baby. I am a teacher and I broke down through kindergarten graduation last year. I just couldn't hand it. Those are the things that others don't think about. Hugs to you!
