It’s hard to see past the thick fog that wrapped itself tightly around me after you left,
to blow away the thousands of butterflies who took residence around my heart
and find some way to continue when all my energy left with you.
My heart still aches to know you,
my mind misses you and my body still craves to be your mum.
You may not have had time to enter this world with your footprints my love,
but you have had a great impact all the same.
You have taught me strength
And I have learnt the hardest things can be overcome
You sparked my motivation
To be the best person I can possibly be
You helped me accept my sensitivity
Once a flaw yet now something I am fiercely proud of
You have shown me deep sadness and grief
Carving a path of pure compassion from those that surround me
And above all, you have opened my eyes to motherhood
Showing me how much love I have to give in this world
I shall proudly use the lessons you continue to teach me to drive myself forward,
be free of the darkness and love hard,
your time will never be in vain.
Somehow, the stars must continue to sparkle, the moon to shine, and the sun to beam beautifully through the clouds when the rains fall.
Rest well little one,

This is so beauituful Andie. Yes take pride in sensitivity. Without Empaths in the world we wouldnt have a clear perception of
What love is. Let is glow from within you, whether love of sorrow or love of joy, and show those who are near you how brave it is to really feel <3
