Thoughts




Almost 7

Nicole May 14, 2011

My Dearest Braedwyn,

It's almost your 7th birthday, or should be on this earthly plane.  I wonder what you'd be into.  What toys would be on your list?  What cake would I be making this year?  Would frosting still be the best part to you?  Would you like David Bowie by now? (Not that I at all knock your cool, ecclectic taste in music).

Your birthday is coming up and it usually means the onset of a deeper depression for me and your Daddy.  This year, we want to try and celebrate you and not get consumed by sadness.   It is hard to avoid, but I see your hands cupping my face and saying, "What's wrong Mommy?  Don't be sad."  I want to hear those words and listen and know that you don't want me to grieve so much.

On Mother's day I had 2 dreams with you.  It was a treat to receive and remember them.  Come visit anytime.  You are my dream boy.  You are my deep, deep soulest love.

I think of you nearly every hour of everyday.  Even when I am engaged in something, you are in my heart and soul.  You are woven into my body, movements.  I need to see that more, so maybe I won't be sad so much.

I love you and you know it is forever yours.

 

Hugs, kisses, cuddles, soft breaths and touches, eternally maternally yours,

 

Mommy
