Bad days
I brought in some pictures of Matthew today at work to put on my bulletin board. It brought back a wave of emotions. I broke down a few times today and cried in my office. I miss him. It hurts me to think that it was somehow my fault, the Trisomy diagnosis. I realize it isn't, but I can't help feeling like it is and why did it have to be my baby it happened to?

"God gave to me a child in part"
God gave to me a child in part,
Yet wholly gave the father's heart:
Child of my soul, O whither now,
Unborn, unmothered, goest thou?
You came, you went, and no man wist;
Hapless, my child, no breast you kist;
On no dear knees, a privileged babbler, clomb,
Nor knew the kindly feel of home.
My voice may reach you, O my dear-
A father's voice perhaps the child may hear;
And, pitying, you may turn your view
On that poor father whom you never knew.
Alas! alone he sits, who then,
Immortal among mortal men,
Sat hand in hand with love, and all day through
With your dear mother wondered over you.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
