I had a child. He lived.
Backstory
Reading this book is helping me to believe that. I did have a child. That child was real. I feel like it was a boy, and although I'll never know for sure, at least not on this side of heaven, we have given the baby a name.And now we are going to give him a place in our family. There are a thousand photos of our son Constantine - framed, hung, reminders of his incredible life. Now Gabriel has a photo, too.

lovely picture, little bean; the beloved gabriel. i am sorry for your loss, wench, and although you never saw a face or held him in your arms, your love is such a force and so palpable.ctgoods2 says,

So sorry that you are grieving Gabriel. I lost a baby at 11 weeks between my oldest two children and it was heartbreaking. I got pregnant with my son while I was still grieving and now I have this amazing boy who would not be in the world if I'd carried the one between to term. I hope you discover that same joy -- even as you feel this loss.
