George


11:05am
One full revolution around the sun.
4 seasons.

It's cold and damp again and my bones have begun to ache in the cold mornings again.

From time to time the sky opens wide and soaks us with cold rain again,
The sea becomes slate grey and except for the hardy the beach is deserted again.
From time to time the sky is bright Wedgwood blue and it is cold and crisp again.
The earth smells rich and damp and sweetly decayed again and the leaves are turning brown and falling from the trees again.

And the earth turns and turns again and again without you.

And another shred is torn from my heart again.

Oh I miss you fiercely little boy. I miss all that you might have been.
I miss the friends you might have made.
I miss the things you would have investigated.
I miss the grand adventures we might have had.
I miss the future that now seems hazy and indistinct.
But mostly, mostly, I just miss my little George.

Beloved.

  1. Barbara and ray,

    You have been held in our hearts all day.

    As I leave now for the beach, there will be no names written tonight. Tonight's sunset is for George and I am going to sit down on the beach and watch it in all its glory.

    My love and peace to you.

    Remembering and missing George with you on this special day. I know you miss your boy so much. What wonderful adventures he would have gone on and creepy crawlies he would have found.

    I'll think of your George in his forest today, dancing around with other spirit friends, flitting about and sending out tons of love towards his mama.

  11. Always remembering your little adventurer, George- and wishing you didn't have to remember and could just have him here.

    Love you, Barbara.

  12. This is such a beautiful post. You could not have chosen more perfect pictures.

    I am thinking of you today, and hoping that the pain of missing your perfect son also comes with a touch of hope, a smile or two, and the knowledge that he is watching over you now.

    I wish we'd never met, never had a reason to share this terrible sort of connection, but I'm thankful to know you all the same. Let your heart be heavy today, let your eyes be full of tears, but smile when you remember your son because he is yours forever, and you are his loving mother.

  26. How I wish my post to you was one of joy on George's birthday. Instead, it's one of quiet reflection, an appreciation of his life and all that he has touched in his brief journey. My heart is sad for you both Barb and Ray and I wish there was something that I could do or say that would make this day less difficult for you both. Please know that George is in my heart, that your precious child is remembered and loved. Sending you both hugs and a wish for peace in your hearts.

  27. Hi, Barbara. I just found your blog when I saw posts about a boy named George on other blogs I've been reading regularly. I don't have much time online so I always wish I could read more babylost mumma blogs. I'm thinking of you and Ray and your sweet boy, George today. We lost our George in May when he was full-term and stillborn. Hope our two little Georges are having a grand time with all their other angel friends today as they celebrate your George's special date. (((Hugs))) to you and I'll light our candle for your George tonight.
