I love you

Jie,
When Mummy was getting Charlene to sleep just now, memories of you came back to me. I recalled stroking your hair each night before you sleep and recalled telling you 'Mummy love you' each night.

For the past 3 years that you lived, Mummy lived each day as though it was your last. I knew the day would come but I prayed and longed for you to live longer....at least until I am prepared to let you go.

I recalled how we celebrated each monthly birthday, thanking God for the miracle He brought to us. You are not just a miracle. Your courage and determination changed my life forever. I frequently remind myself every now and then that if Charmaine can defy the odds against her and lived 3 wonderful years, I should live my life positively too.

Thank you for making me a better Mom. I love you...
