I hurt myself today... Johnny Cash, he summed it up so well. I hurt myself today to see if I can still feel anything other than sadness when I fail. What have I become? Failure. Everywhere, everything I do turns to ash. I hurt myself today, my son. You can ask Johnny Cash yourself up there in heaven where you are. I still think about the day I lost you. Waking up in a pool of blood, it wasn't long before I realized. Then the tears began and reason ended too. It was a miscarriage, my son. You were my second chance. Now you've been ripped away from me. What do I have left? Where can I stand? I hurt myself today. Missing you is all I feel. Johnny Cash said it all, And knew pain all too well. It hurts so much to live without my baby here. Please forgive... Please forgive me but I have to let you go. It's the only way I can survive. I miss you, I need you. But I have to live for you too. I hurt myself today, but I'm going to get better, baby, I promise you that. Sleep sweetly, my love, and I'll see you again someday. Love, Mommy

Baby Lost- Goodbye Ollie

Rest in peace, Oliver Sparrow. Sleep sweetly, baby.
