Georgina



This song was all I could hear after you died.
I don't have anything new to say.
I don't have anything of interest to say.
This is all I have.
I have thought these same thoughts every single day for the past year, every single day since you died.
I will probably think them every single day until the day that I die myself.
When all my other clumsy words have dried up.
I miss you.
I am proud of you.
I am proud to have known you.
I love you.
I hope that we will walk together again.
I hope that you will be in my arms again.
Hope is all that I can do.

    Hi Catherine,

    It's a beautiful song, and one I have sang to myself plenty of times over recent months.

    My thoughts are with you.

    Of course. Yes, exactly. In the last three lines, I am hoping with you.

    Oh Nick Cave. Genius.

    Playing Georgina's song and crying for you all Catherine. I wish I could bring you a lasagne for your freezer and a huge hug. I know it wouldn't make it better, but I wish I could do SOMETHING. SO much love to you as always, my friend. xxxx

    Catherine,
    Thinking of you today and remembering baby Georgina with you.
    This song is just so beautiful. I had never heard it before. I have been having these strange "visits" recently that I had to write about. The lyrics touched me so deeply, and thinking of you and Georgina, I added them to my post. I hope you don't mind. This song speaks to all of us missing our little ones, but to it is Georgina's song, and today (August 29th) is a day to remember her.
    Sending you much love. xo

    What a beautiful post, and a heartbreaking one. I wish I could bring your Georgina back, too. I didn't know if I have it in me today to listen to this song, but it is beautiful, just like your baby girl. Sending you hugs and love.
