For one brief weekend, we were a family of four. It was a fleeting moment, a secret held close to our hearts. Your presence, though subtle, was undeniable. That second faint line on the test—it was there. The doctor noticed it, and I did too. You were a whisper, a mere shadow of what could have been, but you existed—a flicker of hope.
Those few days were precious, weren’t they? The anticipation, the daydreaming, the cautious celebration. We always understood that it was too soon to truly relax. That faint line could vanish just as quickly as it appeared. Yet, how could we not let our hopes rise?
The last weekend of summer was our only weekend with you. Your older brother, blissfully unaware of your existence, filled the air with joy. I felt the weight of my role as a mother of two. My heart swelled as I held one child’s hand and embraced the potential of another, still an unknown.
And then, just like that, you were gone.
We spent that final summer weekend at Story Land, a place of laughter and magic. In those early days, we become part of the narrative our parents create about us, don’t we?
In a different time, we may never have known you were here. There would have been no early tests, no emotions to navigate. But I’m thankful we had that moment.
That last weekend of summer—our only weekend together—was simply perfect. For more insights into navigating pregnancy and home insemination, check out this post here.
