Forever and Always, Baby Boy

by Jenni Marie   Mar 19, 2013


It's been almost 8 days since I saw your face
and I can't help but wonder what I'm missing
if you're okay; every single second that goes
by, there isn't one of them where I'm not
picturing your face,

yearning to cuddle you and
to wrap your tiny body into mine, I just want to
plant a soft kiss on your forehead; do you
remember how I do that dozens of times each
day?

Do you remember how often I tell you I love you and
how I always smile your way for no reason at all? Do
you recall how I tell you "Connor cuddles are my favourite" ?

or how you tell me stories about your invisible friend, your
invisible spider who you named Spidey? Or the times we sing
silly songs together and make things up just to make each other
giggle?

I love you, baby boy. With all my heart. But
Daddy wont bring you back to me and I'm
slowly dying inside, plastering on a smile
each day and pretending that I'm okay

...when I'm really not.
I once said I would die for you;
only now, now I'm dying from the lack of your
absence.

But always know, know that even though
I can't see you, feel you, touch you,
hug you, or talk to you, know that you
are always in my heart,
always the one constant thing
that never leaves my mind

and even though Daddy wont bring you home baby,
mummy loves you. Mummy will always

love you.

    This is very sad, my sister went through the same thing. Reading this has given me an insight into how she must feel...
    I hope this all works out for you. As a Father myself I know the importance of a mothers influence on a child. Probably more so than a father's if I am being honest.
    Don't give up the fight and know that your son won't ever give up on you.
    Good luck

    This just broken my heart Jenni...there is so much emotion in this peom and anyone can tell it's written straight from the heart...a broken heart at that.

    I can't even imagine the pain you are going through...I know I miss my grandkids terribly when I go overseas but...I know it's only temporary and I will see them again and..yes I do count the days. To be faced with the unknown must be horrible for you. All I can say is stay strong and fight all the way to have him back in your arms...good luck.

    Ugh this is so sad! I'm sorry you're going through this dear, I had no idea it got even worse. I know you did nothing to ever deserve this, I wonder why he has to take your own son away from you, it makes no sense. I hope you get to see him soon as I'm sure you will! I'm sure he misses his mom very much. Until then you have all the little memories to hold onto and remember each day, I'm sure they help bring a little light to such a sad situation. Remember if you need anything let me know. Stay strong<3
