Tears in spring

Winter has indeed bade us farewell here in Sydney.

Sunshine and warmth are everywhere.

Even the air smells different.

Yes, spring is here.

Despite my love for this season, I know there will be tears this spring.

There will always be tears in spring, because Cameron died in spring.

Our firstborn. Our son.

His birthday is two weeks from today. The 16th of September. A date that makes my heart ache.

Had he lived, Cameron would be five this year.

But that shall never come to pass.

Because five years ago, he died.

Inside of me.

In spring.

My heart just aches for you Ronnie. But that would in no way compare to how much yours would ache for your beautiful little boy.

Oh Ronnie… just think, Cameron will always be remembered in spring. Every single day but especially in spring. I think he would’ve wanted his mummy to know that too. Big big hug
