Baby May was not planned and we aren`t for sure how far along we were before I miscarried. (Less than 8 weeks though)
Our Baby May came and left us before we even were married.
We have now come to terms with our loss, as we have been working through our two recent losses. We are so sorry for being young and dumb.
Baby May, we love you too. May you be with playing with Jesus and your brother and sister. |
