Poetry by Sue Morton

After 5 years of trying I finally got pregnant the beginning of June 2008 . I was ecstatic. My mum passed away June 10, 2007 so I thought this was her final gift to me, as she always wanted to be a grandmother. As of September 11 (what a great date already), I lost my precious gift. I know everything happens for a reason. I know there is sunshine at the end of this rainstorm, but it sure doesn't feel like it right now.

I wrote this October 30th - 7 1/2 weeks since I lost my baby. I feel like I've come along since then but I have my days that I still feel like this.
