The day

The day I never imagined I would ever have to include in my life.

The saddest day imaginable.

The day my heart broke.

The day that should not have happened but did.

The day I wish I could take back.

The day that fills with me sadness and regret.

The day death entered my little family for the first time.

The day my baby daughter died.

The day I was the coldest I have ever been in my life.

The day I realised that life continues on for the rest of the world when mine stopped.

The day I cried oceans, rivers, lake, creeks, streams of tears.

The day my baby daughter died.

The day we said goodbye to her forever.

The day that never leaves my mind.

The day I held her in my arms as she took her last breaths.

The day I had to go and pick up my living daughter minutes after my baby daughter had died.

The day I finally held my baby cradled in my arms.

The day time stood still.

The day my world fell apart.

The day no mother should experience.

The day I left the hospital empty handed for the last time.

The day that I was somehow able to live through and not die too.

The day my baby daughter died.

The day innocence was lost.

April 16th 2012.

A day forever in my heart.
