Month of Mae: Siblings

So May is over

Our Month of Mae

Tilda’s birthday

Our visit to Coombe Mill

watergate bay

The Mile in Memory

The Baby Tilda Barn Dance

All over and gone

It has been a hard month

May will always be her month

Tilda’s month

We will always walk our mile

Visit the place where her ashes set sail

Make cakes for her birthday

And try to find our peace

By lakes, rivers and seas

This was her month

Our month for her

Our Month of Matilda Mae

As I look back on all we have done

All that has happened in our angel daughter’s name

I cannot help but feel proud

Not only of what we have done

To remember Tilda

To raise money and awareness for The Lullaby Trust

But also how we have carried on

Stayed strong as a family

105

It is not always easy

Missing one daughter

Growing another

And being mummy to almost four year old twins

It is not easy much of the time

But I am proud of how we are doing

Of what our family is becoming

As we continue on

Little by little

One hour of one day at a time

We carry on with love

For one another

And the most beautiful love of all

The relationship that is growing between Esther and William

What wonderful friends they are

What magical stories they weave

And awesome adventures they embark upon

Together

together

Together in their growth

Together in their love

Together in their grief

Together in their fun

Their learning

Their mischief

I look back at the Month Of Mae

At all that we have done

At all that love has done

And I know

I can feel it in my bones

That these two treasures

So wrapped up in one another

Are going to be okay

More than okay

They are our miracles

They are our life

Under the watchful eye of Baby Tilda

May they always love life the way they do now

May they always feel joy the way they do now

May they always laugh the way they do now

May they always trust the way they do now

May they always feel secure the way they do now

And when they cannnot

May they always have one another

May they always be loyal to one another

Protective of one another

May they always be confident in the love of the other

May they always have each other

And Baby Tilda in their hearts

dear beautiful
