A walk with William

It's been 9 months since William was born. It's also been 9 months since I kissed him goodbye. I feel like with all the sadness that comes with losing a baby, sometimes I have to remind myself of how much goodness he's spread and to celebrate that.

Today, while walking through the park, I came upon a street performer playing "Twinkle Twinkle" on accordion. This is not the first time one of William's songs played at the exact moment as I passed by. It's actually happened three times this summer. Once, outside of the subway a violinist played "Colors of the Wind" and I've heard "You are my Sunshine" on guitar in the same spot as today. We listened to these songs all the time when he was in my belly. I think he liked them.

Maybe the angels have brought these songs to me as a source of peace and comfort, another way to connect me with William. And that makes me happy.

As I walked on, I imagined him giggling at all the ducks and swans and squirrels. It made my day :)
