The One in My Heart

 










We drove through major cities, over the George Washington Bridge, by the monuments of D.C., with Lola in the back of our car.  We were visiting Alec's family in Connecticut.

A week ago, I was told that Lola had a matter of days to live.  It stormed and flooded and trees fell everywhere.  The heavens raged because god knew he was making a mistake, and he did.  On Wednesday, my baby died in my arms.  Through the process, I tried to stay calm for her, talk to her, reassure her.  When it happened, I started screaming and making noises that I have never heard come from myself before.

My baby is gone.  She is gone and I will never be the same.

  1. Oh Hilary- what a tremendous loss. Lola had the best life with you. I’m sorry it is so awful. Hugs and tears.

  2. Lola was your child in many ways. She was a loving sweetheart. You gave her a loving home and she is now safe and painfree.
