He was at Bunnings and started talking to a man, one of the workers, about our angel baby. I asked how on earth two men in Bunnings of all places would start talking about her.
This is how it goes,
He new the man and he asked how our two boys were. They were looking at photos of them and the man asked if we were thinking about have anymore. Jeremy replied that we had already been pregnant again but had unfortunately lost our baby.
This is the bit that brought me nearly to tears,
The man told Jeremy that in a week, the 19th of this month, would have been their angel babies 30th birthday. He didnt even have to think about it. He new the date just like that. He said he never forgets. He told my husband to tell me it gets easier, and that it hits us Mummys harder than "the blokes".
That really touched me. My biggest fear was that our Angel baby would be forgotten. I know I wont forget, and now I know that that man wont forget. These babies are never forgotten and that makes me cry tears of the happier kind. When you remember your own angel you have a thought for all our babies with wings. I know ill think of his always, even if only a fleeting thought. Remember that man at Bunnings....?
Because of this moment I have created a tab on my page called For Daddy's. I have asked my husband to go on there and post his feelings about it all when he feels up to it. (Hopefully he will) Thankfully it hasnt happened to my husband but Im afraid they get forgotten in these situations. But they get sad to.
