One Year

One year later and....

Instead of deciding on a birthday theme - we are deciding on headstones.

Instead of buying streamers and balloons - we bought flowers for your grave.

Instead of holding a candle for you to blow out - we held each other and wept.

Instead of celebrating with family - we hide our grief and mourn alone.

Instead of a joyful party - we mourn your passing and all that could have been.

One year later and our arms are still empty and our heart still aches.

We love you Penelope Jane.
