We got the official death certificate for the little one in the mail yesterday. There was one thing that caught both hubby and mine eyes on the form; the line 'never married'...
The form is standardised and of course designed to fit a person that lived a long life, hence there are space for not only date and place of birth, but also occupation and relationship statues. I'm still trying to figure out why the line 'never married' made us so sad. Maybe it was because we now have it in writing that the hopes and dreams we had for the little one will not happen.

the rainmakers
after what had happen in our life recently, hubby and I decided we deserved a nice little holiday. We call up a travel agency and told them to send us somewhere warm and sunny. We live probably in the best city here in Oz, but home city is very very cold and wet now during wintertime, so some sunshine was needed. Travel agency hooked us up with nice little hotel in a sunny little town - it looked very promising indeed.
The day of our departure home town was quit warm and sunny actually and we found it a bit ironic to leave, and when arriving in nice little sunny town that evening we found it even more ironic - it was pouring down...
Actually it did not really stop raining for the all the 5 days we were in little sunny town and the weather man on the news kept talking about that this is the most rain little sunny town have had in 8 years. So I guess we are quit the rainmakers, hubby and I.
We are glad to be back home now and we even got a couple of days with sunshine after we returned back home. Now its raining and cold again, but I don't care. The kettle is boiling and we have extra blankets if needed. And one day the sun will hopefully find us again and if not we might be recognized as rainmakers and be famous for saving this country from the dreaded drought.

until we see you again..
the little one did finally come, 5 days before his due date. He was still not to sure about this coming out of me thing and even though my water broke, he was quit comfy in there and got stuck. He was forced out via c-section and I was thrilled to not be pregnant anymore
Unfortunately the little one only greeted us with a short visit. He stayed with us for 4 days before he moved on to Heaven. He was beautiful and so sweet and I miss him dearly. I have to keep reminding myself that he is in a better place now.
The little one was very very sick and had so many problems that trying to fix things with surgery would just have been cruel. We did know that he would have some problems, but we really held onto hope that it could be fixed, we were praying for a miracle.
Now almost 2 weeks later, I can see that we did get a miracle, just not quit the way we were thinking. Most babies with as many problems as the little one do not make it to term. So our miracle was that not only did the little one make it to term, he also stayed with us for 4 days after. 4 days where we was able to hold his little hands, tickle his feet and kiss him all over.
We cherish those 4 precious days and are grateful that we got to meet and know the little one.
Rest in peace my darling.
