Letters for Matilda Mae

Nearly a year ago, I went on twitter for one of my usual noseies.
I'm no longer a twaddict.....it was ruining my health! But I duck in and out occasionally to see what's occurring!!
There was a sombre mood. Something had happened...there was a lot of confusion but from what I could gather and nobody wanted to believe it to be true....a baby had died.
What transpired over the next few days was truly, desperately awful.
A baby belonging to a much loved blogger, a fellow mummy who liked to blog about her three beautiful children and her husband and their lives.
Matilda Mae.
A nine month old baby,
Taken too soon.

A baby with the biggest brown eyes and friendliest smile you have ever seen.
Why why why??????
My heart broke for Jennie and her family and each picture I saw or sad sentence Jennie wrote, broke it a little more.
A lady I didn't know, a baby I didn't know. But they have touched me in a way I cannot explain.

A few days later, I found out I was pregnant with my third child.
That day I lit a candle. A candle for a beautiful baby.
Matilda Mae.
A nine month old baby.
Taken too soon.

And I think of her and her mummy every day.
