I wish too... <br /><br />But you have some really good points. And there are definitely some things to be grateful for. Like you, the staff was so hospitable through that whole time Jenna was getting more and more ill and also the day she died. And you are so right when you said- "I am grateful for the lessons he has taught us and so many others. I am grateful that he was brought into our lives, if only for a short time."<br /><br />If all we get is that short time, it's so worth it. <br /><br />xoFranchescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362049658761399255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497597673130157461.post-3663528924793905902009-10-29T19:19:11.087-04:002009-10-29T19:19:11.087-04:00A beautiful touching post.

While it can't be done over, be at peace with the decisions you made at the time in the most awful and harrowing of circumstances. No one can plan for how they might act in times like that, you can only do what feels right at the time. Trust that. Even if you'd do it differently now, that is because of what you know now. But I do hear what you are saying. I wish things could have been different too. <br /><br />Hugs to you sweet Lea xoxalliecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06147888501927922319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497597673130157461.post-46997168587167951522009-10-29T18:13:28.266-04:002009-10-29T18:13:28.266-04:00I wish for many impossible things too.

So...Oh Lea, I could have written this post myself. So much of your story rings true for me, except that Calvin was born alive. But as long as he was inside me, there was no danger to him and I wish I could have stayed pregnant with him forever. I too didn't think to undress him and look at his body and I wish I had. I never got to see his little boy parts except in pictures and it's one of the things I deeply regret. Shane and I also chose to keep our moment with Calvin private as he passed away. I'm glad about this, but at the time I didn't know I could have spent more time with him. I didn't even think to ask if he could come back to our room with us where I could have held him longer. I didn't know about NILMDTS or I would have had someone professional take pictures of us all together. Most of all, I too wish I could hold my son again, even with all the anguish and heartache I was facing at the time. I would gladly do it over again for one more moment with my son. I've been thinking so much of you lately, as Nicholas and Calvin's angel dates are so close together. Know that I am walking this painful journey with you and that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

If only we could have packed a lifetime of love into those precious moments we had before having to say good-bye. Even so, we all loved them intensely and deeply then, and we can still send our love to them in heaven. He must be so touched by all you are doing to honor him.
