Brad and I had a little weekend getaway and went to visit with our friend Horse at his cabin near here.  Was a nice evening hanging out on Loon Lake.

Tonight I was playing wow, when a dear friend of mine told me that his wife had just suffered a miscarriage. It brought flooding back to me, memories of my own miscarriage. I want nothing more than to console his wife, after all I KNOW what it’s like to feel the pain of the loss of a baby.

Anyway it got me thinking, and I scrounged around till I found a poem I wrote when it first happened (May 1999, although I don’t recall when I wrote the poem, sometime in the next year or so).

I did a google and found my poem listed as “Author Anonymous” but I assure you I wrote this poem.

Without further ado, here it is:

I Miss You Little One

I miss your laughter
Although I’ve never heard it
I miss your warm hugs
Even though I’ve never felt them
I miss watching you dance
Even though it never happened
I miss your kiss
Although I haven’t had one
I miss our talks
Even though we have never directly spoken
I miss watching you sleep
Although you never dreamt in my house
I miss waiting for you to come home from school
Even though you’re never gone
I miss kissing your scrapes
Although you’ve never been hurt

I miss you little one.

Some random photos of my sisters and I from when we were teenagers.
