On Your Birth Day

  
Dear Laila, 

A year ago today, I gave birth to you. So today is your birth day. A year ago today, we met you for the first time. But, it's not a day to celebrate because you came into this world with no signs of life. Our hearts were broken enough by then and knowing you arrived peacefully brought us some relief. 

 I have written you these letters; from Wednesday, the day of our first scan, and for the ten days that followed. They were the hardest ten days of our lives. I hope is that somehow, in some way, whereever you are, these letters will reach you. You'll know how very loved you were and how very sad we always will be to not have you here đź’”
