This is a poem I wrote for Joshua. It started as just a few phrases that were triggered by a sticker I had bought to go in his baby album. It simply said “I will remember you” and I began to think about what I would remember about our time together. It has always been difficult for me to write to him as I don’t really know if he is aware of anything down here. Anyway it just kind of flowed out of me (along with a lot of tears) and was a very special piece of my healing process. You may have to click on the image to make it large enough to read.

I want to share some of the joys and challenges of our journey with Joshua in the hopes that it will make someone elses road a little easier to travel down.
