tragic death of a newborn baby |
Given to me was this locket, that I wear around my neck. Inside you'll find a picture, of my son you’ve never met. His birth was such a special time, I was ecstatic and overjoyed. Thankful that God had given me, a beautiful baby boy. Suddenly everything went dark, and things got complicated. In a moment he was gone, it was God that I now hated. He only lived for a few short days, this was hard for me to cope. His death came as such a surprise, there was no chance for any hope. Overwhelmed with pain and sorrow, a woman came up to me. She placed a necklace in my hands, and said “for your memories”. Unsure exactly what she meant, I stopped crying and looked around. Opened my hands and found a locket, that had gold in its background. There was no one’s picture inside, so I found one of my own. Placed it there inside the locket, to never again be alone. A locket that’s more than special, it helps heal my pain and hurt. Of those days we spent together, celebrating my son’s birth. I keep this locket close to me, as it lies right over my heart. Just one way to remind me, that our spirits are not apart. I held him tightly in my arms, when he took his final breath. This locket helps me honor him, in life and in his death. |
