I Love You As Much
April 9, 2012
As I laid my sweet baby in his casket today, perfectly nestled in his blankets, the words to one of my favorite bedtime stories that I read to my kids came to my mind. "Now sleep, child of mine, while the stars shine above. I love you as much as a mother can love." I love my little Miles more than I can express, and as I tucked his blankets around him and kissed his cheeks, it felt for a moment just like tucking in my other babies as they drifted off to sleep. I would walk slowly away from their cribs, knowing I would miss them during the night, but that I would see them and hold them in the morning. I suppose it really isn't much different, I just have to wait much longer for the morning when I will again see and hold Miles.
