Inexorable countdown

Look at my ticker. Inexorable countdown to Sunday.

Today one year ago was the last time I saw my son alive, through the screens and needles of machines. I had an ultrasound and foetal heartrate monitoring. Everything was AOK. I didn't get the last picture from the ultrasound, he was too big on the screen to get a good one.

One year ago yesterday way my due date. 24th July, a date I lived towards for nine months, a date on which my life was meant to change forever, but not in the way it actually happened.

What a terrible terrible year without you V. I miss you so much and I think about you every single day.

rosepetal, thinking of you and V and sending big hugs. I will be posting a blog update soon. I am so very sorry I just 'disappeared' and haven't been posting on anyone else's blog either. I should have at least e-mailed you and I am terribly sorry for my rudeness during such a difficult time in your life. But you and V are always in my thoughts. Oh V, how I wish you were here and your mummy was planning your 1st b-day party. It all should have been so different. xoxoxo

Hoping that the passing of this date happens with as much peace as possible. Sometimes it is much easier (relatively speaking) after the date passes.
