I've Been Saving This...

Also, in light of our daughter's birthday, I wanted to share this poem written by Abraham Piper. He and his wife Molly had a stillborn baby girl 6 months ago. It's beautiful.

Empty hangers, empty closet, empty clothes.
Empty crib, empty bath.
Empty bottles, empty breasts.
Empty lungs, empty blood, empty heart.
Empty grave.

I also want to share one of my favorite blogs. It is written by a mother who lost her 18 mo. old son in a drowning accident, not incidentally, one year ago today. I find she gives voice to my own thoughts and wrestlings. www.xanga.com/knoxmemories. Again, beautiful.
