1:31 pm: A
baby with a full head of hair and two
curious eyes maneuvered her little
arms against my shoulder, trying to look me
in the face.
But then I began to realize that parenting after loss was just that — a
curious mix of happiness and grief, of looking back on what was and what could have been, and at the same time looking forward to new possibilities, of carrying a
baby in your
arms while never letting go of the ones
in your heart.
