The star that shines the brightest

Mummy loves sunshine, Hugo:

This year, Mummy and Daddy thought the sun was shining on us –

A beautiful baby boy to look forward to,

Our joy was shining brightly.

Mummy loved being pregnant with you, Hugo:

But you had to be born too early –

You were such a feisty little boy, Hugo Boss,

Our pride shone so brightly.

Mummy so wanted to take you home, Hugo:

We did everything we could,

The doctors and nurses did everything they could –

Our hope shone so brightly.

Mummy’s and Daddy’s hearts broke when you left us, Hugo:

You took pieces of our hearts with you to your new home in the stars –

There is a gaping chasm in our lives where you should be,

The thick dark clouds of grief hide the sunshine.

Mummy and Daddy miss you so much, Hugo:

We are comforted by the memory of you,

The memory of such a special baby –

Your memory shines on.

 

Mummy and Daddy love you so much, Hugo:

We love you to the moon and back –

A million times.

Yours is the star that shines the brightest.

The three of us
