9 Months

Dear Brianna,


Today, you would be 9 months old.  But, since you were born early, had you lived, you would also have what the doctors call an "adjusted" age.  So, today, your adjusted age would be 5.5 months old.  Who knows what milestones you'd be hitting now?  The ones for a 9 month old baby, like sitting up on your own, starting to get up on all fours, starting to try to crawl?  Or the ones for a 5.5 month old baby, like rolling over, starting to eat baby food, smiling, laughing?  But, baby girl, you'll never hit those or any other milestones.  And that makes me sad.


Yesterday, your dad and I visited your grave.  We brought you flowers, like we do every month for your birthday.  This month, they were yellow roses and as always, there were 3 of them.  One for me, one for Daddy and one for you, all together as a family.  We miss you very much, baby girl.


Happy Birthday, Brianna.  I hope that you know just how much we love you.


Love,
Mommy
