Instead

Another long day of labour and then finally there you were. Even after 2 days I felt unready. They handed you to me. You were beautiful and still and ours.

Today should be about balloons and cake, presents and your little-girl-giggles. About a dress with bows and streaks of icing on your face. About flings chips and little friends and countless photos and proud parents.
About you - in all your childish wonder and unbridled joy.

Instead it is quiet.

Happy birthday my precious girl. I wish we were celebrating it together.
Sophia, your mommy loves you with all her heart.

I am so sorry Sophia Grace is not with you today and each of the last 365. I hope that this anniversary will help you to process you grief another step and that you can begin to look to the future and finding a way of holding Sophia through that.

Love

I am so sorry that you cannot be all together. You are a wonderful mother to your children. I remember that feeling of quiet all too well. My thoughts are with you and your family. Thinking for you.
