Emotional

This is me 3 days before Drake was born

This is me holding my angel after he had passed

To the World,
I have neglected a lot of you lately and please forgive me. I am beginning to feel guilt for this negligence but I just can't help it. You know I am on the verge of having a baby. A baby boy. And I thrilled to pieces for Maxwell to enter this world and be a part of my family. But with all of this excitement has brought upon me many bittersweet emotions of my Drake. Going through clothes that still had tags on them that I bought for Drake that were never worn. Coming across the letters DRAKE I had painted to hang in his room. And then taking the time to contemplate my life and the dramatic twists and turns it has made and how much I miss my little baby. I am not throwing a pity party, just remembering. Every emotion comes to the surface and today I cried. Really hard. And it felt really good. And I know these little spirits understand their mama and comfort me. I am ecstatic to have Max join our family but I just miss my Drake! And I feel so blessed to have my darling family and friends all around me buoying me up at this time. You may not even know that you have. But I am so blessed to have you! And so I will admit, I have been neglectful except to the necessities of life and so please forgive me. Just give me some time. And I love you for understanding!
Love
Your Friend
Melissa

This is where his precious body lays for time.
