One Month

It’s been a month since I’ve heard your sweet little voice and you reached out to hold my hand.
It’s been a month since you told me, “I wuv you” and lit up the room with your smile.
It’s been a month since you tapped on your wrist and lovingly said, “hug time!”
Its been a month since the light in your eyes illuminated my spirit.
It’s been a month since we’ve felt expressions of your love.

It’s been a month since I looked at you in wonder and told you your lips were the perfect color.
It’s been a month since I touched your flawless skin and ran my fingers through your beautiful hair.
It’s been a month since I’ve held you close and confessed I couldn’t possibly love you more.

It’s been a month since you surprised us with your departure.
It’s been a month since your heart stopped beating and our hearts shattered.
It’s been a month since we lost you, and yet we’re the ones lost.
It’s been a month.

It still doesn’t feel real, yet the wound is so deep. It seems like both the blink of an eye since we were together, and yet each individual day without you here has felt like an eternity, and the nights even longer.

I will never understand why you were chosen, but I will forever be proud of being your mom. I love you always.
