<\/p>\n\u201cDear Baby I Never Met,<\/p>\n
I never got to see your face, but I\u2019ve imagined it more times than I could count.<\/p>\n
I was never able to wrap you in a blanket and breathe you in.<\/p>\n
I never felt your tiny fingers grasp mine, but I\u2019ve closed my eyes and felt your warmth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I never experienced the deep bond of breastfeeding you.<\/p>\n
I never got to see your first smile, your first laugh, or even hear your first cry.<\/p>\n
I will never get to comfort you when you\u2019re sad, or scared, or hurt.<\/p>\n
But I still love you.
\nI\u2019m still your mother.
\nMy heart still aches and yearns for you.<\/p>\n
Even though you only survived within my womb for a few months, my heart still longs for you.<\/p>\n
I carried you.
\nI carried you under my heart, within the safety of my body.
\nI knew you.
\nYou are my child.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I loved you from the moment I saw two pink lines on that test.
\nI loved you with a deep, fierce love; and I cared for you in all the ways I could while you rested within me.<\/p>\n
And when I began losing you, when you started to leave my body much too early, a part of me went with you.<\/p>\n
So, even though you\u2019re in a better place.
\nEven though Jesus gets to comfort your every tear.
\nEven though He got to witness your first smile, your first laugh, your first words.<\/p>\n
A piece of my heart will always be with you.
\nThe day you left my body, my soul changed forever.<\/p>\n
I carry you with me everywhere I go.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And I hope as you sit in heaven and watch over your earthly family down here, you feel our love.
\nI hope you know you would have fit right in with us.
\nI hope you feel us.
\nBecause we will never stop loving you.<\/p>\n
Love,
\nYour Mama\u201d<\/p>\n
