Firstly, I wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss of precious Leo. I read it with tears streaming down my face yet I felt so uplifted by your strength and courage.

Although I don't know you, this isn't actually the first time I have cried for you and your baby although I never knew his name before. We shared the same midwife J and it was by chance I went to visit her the day after Leo's birth. At first I couldn't understand why she wasn't herself that day but then she shared her grief at losing a baby to a beautiful couple. She gave no other details but the date and other details you give makes me think this was you.

It has been a long time since I have visited this site, and it was only by chance that I stumbled across your story. I have never posted a reply before but I want to let you know that I have often thought of you and your baby. I am so glad to have been able to read your beautifully written story and learn Leo's name. Your strength is honestly inspirational.

Thank you for sharing.
