It's been 23 long years since our first hello and our last goodbye, yet that day is still as fresh in my mind as if it happened yesterday. I remember the cold chill in that corner room of the hospital. The damp smell of mildew that filled the room as I struggled to hold you in for one more moment not wanting to push. The babies crying in the surrounding halls, but the silence in your perfect lips. How perfect your 3lb 2 oz body was as they laid you upon my chest. The beautiful dark midnight curls that surrounded your face and those huge chocolate brown eyes that hid behind those lids that were forever closed to the world. I got to hold you that freezing cold afternoon on the 5th of March for what only seemed like moments. Yet those moments will be forever etched upon my very being. You are the one whom I named Olivia. The one who made me a mother. The one I carry with me every single day till we meet again.

So sorry for you loss! Praying you find comfort and healing in being able to journal about this hard time in your life! I always picture my mom holding and rocking all the babies in Heaven, so I'm sure she's holding your Olivia along with my baby! ((HUGS)) and prayers!
