Mourned

Dear Baby Allegra:

You've been gone 29 days.

Thankfully, you also lived 29 days.  In that time, you were in the hospital only 6 hours.  You spent 92 hours on oxygen. You ate less than an ounce at every feeding.  You were held by countless people and kissed infinite times. You had 6 blankets, 5 feeding syringes, 4 onesies, 3 car rides, 2 preemie pacifiers, yet only 1 known outcome.

I miss you.  So do the 5 other people in your family.


Love,
Your Mom

  9. I woke up today thinking - it's been a month. I'm sure none of us can know or feel truly how the month went for you and your family, but we think of you and precious allegra on this day.
