Due

You were due yesterday. Our hearts should have been full of excitement and anticipation for your imminent arrival. Instead they are full of sadness and disappointment. We should have been trying to get our heads around bringing you home and learning to look after you. Instead we are trying to get our heads around the fact that another of your siblings has joined you in heaven. This one stayed with me for an even shorter time than you did. Our hearts should have been bursting with love for a new little person. Instead they are breaking at the fact that our babies never stay with me long enough for us to meet them. We still love you all though and look forward to meeting our ever growing heavenly family. We should have been getting our house ready for you, hanging a mobile above your cot. Instead our nursery remains just the spare room & we are hanging yet another paper star on our family memorial tree.
You were due yesterday.
