I'm having a weird day. It's been four months today since we lost our daughter. I wrote her a letter and attached it to this photo on my IG:
Dear Sweet Kenley,
It has been 4 months. 122 days. 2,920 hours. 175,200 minutes. 10,368,000 seconds since I've held your sweet body in my arms. The day you were born was all in one the worst and best day of my life. It was finally time to meet my perfect daughter. The daughter I had longed for my entire adult life. I finally had you. When you were born, the silence was deafening. I will never forget your peach fuzz covered face, or that you had the same upper lip indentation as I have. I can't believe I have to live the entirety of my life on earth without you, with only a memory of you. My world will always be missing something. My world will always be a little silent. Somedays it feels as if life is going on and leaving me behind. Like I'm standing in the middle of a tornado. On my death bed, you will be the last thought on my mind. I cannot wait until the moment we are together again, and I can see your beautiful face looking back at mine. Mommy misses you, sweet baby girl. I wish I could have saved you
....I never imagined I could ever miss someone so fiercely. The door to her room has been closed every day. I wish I was in there with her in my arms. Today is hard.

Lots and lots of ((hugs)). That is a beautiful letter you wrote and you described so well how it feels to lose someone so precious. Take care of yourself today, feel however you want to feel, and I'll be thinking of you, your family, and Kenley.
