On July 21, 1997, I found out that my baby boy was in Heaven.
God took him for som unknown reason on a summer day in 1997.
Physically, he was still here on earth-still inside my womb.
It will never end-the shock, the sorrow, the misery, the heartbreak, the grief, the gloom.
I knew this night would be long.
I asked, "What did I do wrong?"
"You did nothing wrong", they repeatedly said.
"We're sorry to tell you - your baby is dead."
How could this be? He was dead before he was born.
The death of my baby boy - I will always mourn.
There was nothing anyone could say.
I'll never forget that summer day.
I was a good person, couldn't they see?
Why did this terrible thing happen to me?
It's a question that I will never find an answer to.
Without a cry or a movement - only the sight of a beautiful baby sent from Heaven.
I'll never forget the summer Tuesday - July 22, 1997.
It was the day my first baby was born.
My heart, my mind, and my soul still remain torn.
I sit here thinking how this was so unkind.
The memories are still so fresh in my mnd
Of the hours I spent holding him.
My future always looks so dim.
One night, I found how unfair life was for me.
I think about what could have been - what might be.
All my hopes and dreams were shattered.
For six months, nothing else mattered.
Since I held him, six months have passed.
His memory will always last.
My arms have ached, and I have cried.
My precious baby boy has died.
