The bitter thing is that the Karen went in for an ultra-sound and found that baby Alice Jane was dead. She had to give birth to a still born and it was so so sad. I went and saw her and coudn't help crying. The little graveside was today. It was good and i definetly cried a lot more. But her family is doing great now and i know Alice is in heaven.
Here is a really cute poem that was on the program but don't read it if you don't feel like shedding a tear.
Silent Footprints
We never had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you,
touch you now
And listen to you giggle.
I’ll always be your mother.
He’ll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
For that we are so glad.
But now you’re gone..
But yet you’re here.
We’ll sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy.
There’s love in every tear.
Just know our love
goes deep and strong.
We will forget you never.
The child we had,
but never had,
And yet will have forever.
