you grew in me
and I grew too
you were you
and I was me
but we were one
our lives flowing
weaving
entwined in each other
daughter
mother
connected with love
with tissue and blood
in body
and soul
and then
the end.
impossible
how can it be that one
so young
so full of life
waiting to burst into this world
slipped out so quietly
over before even one breath
you slipped away in the night
you didn't even wake me
you left me there sleeping
left me there all alone
waiting
for what would never come
-Stephanie Paige Cole

ReplyDeleteReally is beautiful and cool thinking that you were connected to her during her whole life. She has such a great mom and dad. And she does remain with you still, and forever. Never gone. She is so real and so precious. Dear sweet Olivia, how much your physical presence is missed.
