Artwork Description
In this life, you will never walk alone my sweet one.

My time was cut short due to the cruelty of cancer. 

Yours, my little blessing, is just beginning.

I want you to know that a mother’s love knows no bounds and our bond is unbreakable.

I cherish those unforgettable first few months of your life where I got to hold you against my skin, breathe in your intoxicating dreamy smell and delight in watching each subtle expression on your tiny face.

Although my life took a devastating turn just a few short months after your birth, my hope is that you grow up happy and healthy and always knowing that those we love never really leave us.

That is why I am here – to place my warm palm against yours and hold you tight, to share in the joy of every milestone and to place a protective hand on your shoulder when times are tough.
