Fading

Yesterday I put all my maternity clothes in a bin and put them away. I've lost almost all of my pregnancy weight. Feels like even my body doesn't remember my babies. A week ago they died.

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo. I don't want to forget.

I am so sorry, Val.

So sorry.

I like the idea of a tattoo. In the midst of all the pain of loss, there is a joy that needs to be remembered - a love. That celebration we experienced as we anticipated the twins' arrival.

With one of our losses I painted a picture dedicated to the baby. With another, I wrote and framed a poem. They are present in our every day memories. They were much younger than your two.

I am so sorry.
