Grateful

from Scribbles & Crumbs (child loss author)


I could only be grateful when I 
realized that I would rather have
known you for a moment than never at
all. I would rather endure this
inexplicable pain of outliving you than
to never have seen your face, spoken
your name. I would rather be yours,
and you be mine, regardless.
Regardless of the sorrow, the sleepless
nights, and the years I will walk this
earth, carrying you in my heart.
