Dear Andrew,

Tomorrow is the first anniversary of your due date.  To some this shouldn't be a big deal.  It wasn't the day you were born after all.

But to me this is the day you should have been born.  If you had arrived that day you would be here with us.  We'd have a one year old!  I can't imagine how different our lives would be if you had been born on May 31st.

On May 31st last year you were still moving around inside of me.  You were still making me feel gigantic and giving me those reassuring kicks.  You were alive.

I know I can't change anything now but it won't make tomorrow any easier.  Should have, could have, would have is not going to change the outcome of your story.  It's not going to change the ending of your life.  But it still makes me sad to think what a difference 8 days could have made in all of our lives.

We love you and miss you baby boy.
