A letter to my baby girl…
Sometimes I let my mind wander. It often happens in the quiet darkness of the early hours when everything else is still. That’s when my grief is often the loudest and hardest to make sense of. I often torture myself by asking the same question over and over. Would I change anything?
I wouldn’t change my experience as your Mum, however hard it was, is and always will be. Being your Mum was the hardest and most heart breaking thing but I would do it a thousand times over. For the most part, I am proud and I am thankful for the way you have, and continue to impact on my life.
