Trigger Warning ⚠️ I miss my kid. I hate it.

Post image

​

Tw: infant loss. Please leave now if this is going to harm you. I have tried to block the first bit. If it's broken I'll try to work on it as soon as I post it.

My baby was born 10 years ago today (well. For 5 more mins today. B 6/24/16). My baby died 36 days later. Today, only one person remembered my baby who wasn't obligated to. It took 10 years. Not 9 but 10. The person who remembered had an alarm set and has it set forever for every year. Only 10 years

I miss my baby

Will you miss my baby with me, please?

Tell me if your favorite memories with your babies? Or Pets? Or funny kid stories? (I do have a surviving 8 year old)Tell me if your loss babies if you want? Cry about pot loss or parent loss with me? Be with me? I have family, they're here but asleep. I will be too, soon. Before too long. But is really love to wake up to stories and people to talk to, and fall asleep that way too. Or cute animals?

I'm going to include pictures of my child in the comments. Please, no one get upset. She's very much dead.

Her name was Cambridge "Cammi" Armstrong. If you think you know me from this comment and had HG, you do know me. Hi. It happens a few times a year someone will.

I had bread and butter (it goes on the bread I promise) and a Mt olive pickle and red onion pickles eta: o that's pepperoni too. Aldi.

Anyone got any advice or just wanna talk into I can manage to sleep or let me wake up to wonderful things? I'm sorry I'm asking so much. My son is away at camp and I'm sad.

The metrics of this post make me want to sob. Over 650,000 people have seen this post. The top three countries are the United States, UK and Canada up at 11% of the people who have read this post are not from the United States, Canada or the UK. Over 500 people have shared his post outside of Reddit. I don't have the words for what it means to me that this many people acknowledged my child's existence. I can't. I thought maybe 15 of you would see this. This is crazy.

your girl is so beautiful. i've had a couple early miscarriages and a second trimester loss. He was perfect, but my body failed to carry him to term. He had my nose, and the cutest little hands and feet. I think about him all the time. He would be turning one this summer. I will miss your Cammi with you, and maybe you can miss my sweet Teddy with me too. 💜

I will miss your Cammi with you, and maybe you can miss my sweet Teddy with me too. 💜

I think this is one of the most beautiful thoughts I've read on this blasted Internet. What a gift. Please know I'm sitting and missing Teddy with you too. ❤️

I think that's one lovely part of this post, so many people loving and remembering these sweet babies, and especially sweet that there's a lot of moms remembering together. I'll be thinking of your Teddy, as well as OP's sweet Cammi.
