I just happened to come across this and all I wanted to say is I feel sorry for you. Hope you and your wife stay strong and together.
And there’s a comment by Heather Meadows. She wrote a poem which I find very thoughtful, moving and beautiful.
- I Miss You
little fingers
bunchy with skin
stubby, flailing, grasping
little toes pointing out of fat feet
little heels kicking at air
joints bent tightly, fresh from the womb
tiny wisps of hair on your head
huge watery eyes squinting as you smile
your untrained face following mine
I love you
I want to hold you close
protect you
teach you what little I know
let you teach me
kiss your soft skin
brush your soft hair
play with your fingers
I miss you
my child who will never be
For Cheeto.

This was awfully nice of you. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Things aren’t so great here, but they are slowly getting better. Thanks again, mm
