Due to the recent events it has made me feel so incredibly grateful. So very lucky to have carried my son to full term, to hear his first cry, to gaze endlessly at him whilst he slept and to feel the warmth of his body in my arms. As a Mum I can only shiver to even imagine what it must feel like to lose your precious child.
I love my son to bits enough already, but it has made me cuddle him that little bit tighter and that little bit longer. I have been breathing in the smell of him and simply enjoying having him in my life.
Life is so very short as it is and you just never know what it might throw at you. It's at times like these that I sit back and realise what I'm grateful for. I'm so very grateful for my healthy son who is full of life.

How awful, can't even begin to imagine, such a heartfelt post, and a sweet picture too. Nat
ReplyDeleteThis gave me shivers when I read it, so terrible and sad. I too am very grateful for my little family! I will probably give them an even bigger cuddle when they get up from their naps in a minute! Keep writing, I am loving your blog!
ReplyDeleteI cannot even begin to imagine the horror of still birth; I think it would break me as a person. Beautiful picture of such a gorgeous little bundle of joy.
ReplyDeleteI too have had bad news about babyloss from a family member and yes it makes you treasure yours all the more. Had forgotten the smell of babies (the nice one) so thanks for the reminder. Adorable picture
ReplyDeleteI am so soppy, your post actually made me cry. You had already told me about your family member which is just dreadful and so sad, but also your words, they are lovely. A lovely pic too. xx
ReplyDeleteI could feel my eyes welling too when re reading it! x
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss in your family :-(. It does make you appreciate the small things...x
ReplyDeleteMe too, I don't think you would ever be the same again x
ReplyDeleteI hope they got a good squeeze! Thanks for saying that, I love yours too! x
ReplyDeleteIt is the unimaginable x
ReplyDeleteWe should never take for granted what we have. Sometimes we just forget don't we? x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post...very touching. So sorry for you Friend's loss x
ReplyDeleteI couldn't begin to imagine how hard a stillbirth would be, absolutely horrible. Condolences to your family. Beautiful photo and lovely words too :)
ReplyDeleteMy friend also two months ago lost her baby in still birth. It has been a tragic and traumatic time and it does make you feel grateful and then guilty. Mixed emotions. A wonderful heartfelt post. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that news. It is awful and makes you feel very grateful for everything you have. I recently suffered a miscarriage at three months and that was hard enough - I simply can't imagine what your family is going through. Big hugs to you and your family. xxx
ReplyDeletePost and photo, and the thought of it all make me cry. I used to spend a lot of time on mummy chat forums and there were 3 ladies on there and I got really close to them because I could feel their pain. Thankfully 2 years on they all have another baby but they all still regularly talk about and remember their lost angels xxxxxxx (emotional) xxx
ReplyDeleteAhh beautiful. I think we all are incredibly grateful for our little babes. So sorry for your family member. For some reason I assumed you would have dark hair, even though your blog header pic is blond!
ReplyDeleteMich x
