it's hard to believe that it has been SIX years already
six years ago that he stole his way into our lives and our hearts
six years ago that we feared the ultimate worst, as he lay, lethargic, in my swollen belly
six years ago that hurried nurses flew me past my family towards an operating room and into the waiting knife of an on-call doctor
six years ago that he was unceremoniously pulled from a warm home beneath my heart, only to take his first fragile breath and steal mine away altogether

and all that you will be tomorrow
