Purim Letter
Was sent this message yesterday, on Purim, from @miriam_levin. Here is a heartbreaking letter to her stillborn daughter.
“Hey my baby girl,
Today we would have been celebrating your 6th birthday. I wonder what costume you would choose...maybe a princess or a flower girl?
It would match your soft dark skin and beautiful black hair. You looked like an angel when you were born, so pretty just like your tatty (father).
I still sometimes wonder how my life would be like with you in it, and when I think of that a big massive wave of sadness washes over me. I cry and feel so broken hearted and I wish for you to be here now. But then I get a surge of strength and pick up my head and move on. I know with all my heart that only good things are destined from above, and whatever happens is for my good even though sometimes it’s hard to see it.
I miss you so much.
As the pain eases, and I inhale and exhale slowly. I feel calmer knowing that this challenge was given to me to make me stronger, to thrive from it and through that to help others.
I feel so honoured that I was chosen to be your mum even it was only for 36 weeks.
You are always in my thoughts and you will forever be engraved in my heart.
I love you forever and ever my little angel.
Love,
Mama 💋♥️”
