27 years ago

[veer]

27 years ago we became the parents of Jolien and Ben. When I was 20 weeks pregnant, Ben turned out to have a birth defect, anencephaly which means he had an open skull, and therefore not viable.
At 34wk I gave birth, Jolien weighed 1.115kg and Ben was born to death.

A difficult period that lasted a very long time before I could give it a place.
Now his grandmother is in heaven with him, and after so many years we have given it a place, but today I want to think of him in particular!

I didn't really lose you
I can hear you in my heart
I carry you there with me
forever


your wings were ready, not my heart yet
