after i wrote the "poem" the other day, mentioning dark clouds and a pretty pink bow... i found this photograph, taken by a dear friend and fellow bereaved mother in australia. when your newborn baby dies, and you find someone who suffered the same terrible loss, the connection is instant. i really think some day i will fly to australia to meet this woman. you should *see* her backyard. i want to, in person. amazing.





i never thought a scenic photograph could so accurately describe how i feel. dark, dark clouds. the pink forever shining through. beautiful.
