Dear Gabby
Just over 3 weeks ago you were still growing inside my tummy. We were all excited about having a little baby in the house. We all daydreamed about our little girl who would come into our lives and bring to our family a new era. A new beginning.
We were planning your little room, Dad wasn't really fond of too much pink so we were planning to make a lady bug theme in your room. We already had all the furniture that we would need given to us by your aunt and uncle.
Your dad would talk to you everyday through my tummy and his eyes lit up as he pondered the thought of holding you in his arms. I often imagined what his excitement would be like when he held you for the first time.
Mom was looking so forward to being on maternity leave, so that I could have some much needed family time with you and your big sister. Just some time to be a mom and a wife and not worry about anything else.
Just over 3 weeks ago, we had hopes and dreams and plans and now it feels empty. Its like someone came in and stole it all away. Its all gone. We cant spend any more time on planning your room or dreaming about how things will be once your born. Its all gone.
None of the wise words that I have read or heard can take the place of the emptiness that I feel in my heart right now. Its blank, empty - there is nothing there and I mourn for those dreams just as much as I mourn for my little baby girl that left this world.
Right now I am just sad and lost and it just feels really empty. Empty in my belly, empty in my arms and empty in my dreams.
I know in my mind that things are not hopeless and that life must go on and we must make new dreams and new plans, but for right now - I don't want to make new plans and new dreams. I just want to be here surrounded by my beautiful family remembering my little angel Gabriella.
Love you forever
Mom
