I love this quote by Zoe Clark Coates. It is about her daughter Darcey, whom she also lost. When I read these words I got thinking about my babies. These words really resonated with me and I got thinking as what my babies would be like, if they had lived.
Both my girls will have been stunners. Both dark haired and olive skinned. They would be full of joy and laughter and love. Both of them living up to their Indonesian name meaning of "Generous". They would be generous with their love, their laughter, their joy, their kindness, their hope.
Summer would have been athletic and musical. She would have loved ice skating, playing sports and she would have learned to play every instrument under the sun. She would love to go swimming and spend time watching the football and golf with her Daddy. Of course she would be a Manchester United supporter - just like him.
She would have loved animals, like me, especially cats. And she would be very close with all three cats - but Audrey in particular. Her and Audrey would have been inseparable.
Summer would have loved to read, and she would be bilingual, as I will have learned myself and brought her up speaking Indonesian as well as English.
Summer's favourite colour will have been orange, and her favourite food will have been Indonesian Noodles.
Of course, her favourite season will have been Summer. She will have loved the sun and the heat and she the Beach will have been one of her favourite places.
She will have had her Daddy's humour, and my temperament.
Summer will have been loved by everyone who came across her, and she would have enriched their lives greatly. She will have been radiant.
I find it easier thinking about what Summer would have been like, because I feel like I knew her more as I carried her longer than I carried Winter. But I do just want to say, that although this blog is dedicated to Summer, both her and Winter are loved deeply and were both wanted. Whatever I write, think and feel about Summer, I also automatically apply to Winter.
I love thinking about what my babies will have been like if they have lived and it brings me joy to know that they are all of that and more, in Heaven.
My babies are loved and treasured. 🌞💖
