The Little Prince

Through this journey of losing a baby, I have met some extraordinary women. We are all part of a "club" that is one you don't want to join. However, through it all you have someone else who might know how you feel and can be there to listen when no one else understands. A friend sent me this beautiful card for Christine's birthday that just touched me in so many ways. I am posting this poem so I can always look back on it, but to also share it with you all as you remember a loved one that is no longer living.

What makes this poem even more unique to me is I understudied for this play a few years back. So, as I read this and think of Christine, I also have beautiful images to go a long with it. Funny how things come back into your life in ways like this. Thank you Sara and all the other baby loss moms that have been there for me!

In one of the stars

I shall be living

In one of them

I shall be laughing

And so it will be

As if all the stars

Were laughing

When you look

At the sky at night

And there is sweetness

In the laughter of all the stars…

And in the memories of those you love.
