25 weeks and Father's Day

Father's Day was uneventful at our house. It was Ryan's first Father's Day and I worked the whole weekend. He did however get a really lovely card from Alexandra's House staff. Alexandra's House is the peri-natal hospice house in Kansas City that has been working with us. On the inside of the card it had a really lovely poem:

A Father Means...

A Father means so many things...

An understanding heart,

A source of strength and of support

Right from the very start.

A constant readiness to help

In a kind and thoughtful way.

With encouragement and forgiveness

No matter what comes your way.

A special generosity and always affection, too

A Father means so many things

When he's a man like you.

I suppose I am on a poetry kick because I found another really sweet poem that I touched my heart.

.

I Remember You

.

The world may never notice

If a rosebud doesn't bloom

Or even pause to wonder

If the petals fall to soon

But every life that ever forms,

Or ever comes to be

Touches the world in some small way

For all eternity.

The little one I longed for

Was swiftly here and gone.

But the love that was then planted

Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,

Our hearts know what to do

Every beating of my hearts says

"I remember you".
