Invisible

I've been struggling with invisibility since the end of October.

I was pregnant, but not showing yet.

Invisible.

I had a miscarriage with nothing to show for it.

Invisible.

I am a mother with no child to hold.

Invisible.

I have a huge hole in my heart that no one can see.

Invisible.

I carry my pain like an over sized purse.

Invisible.

Tomorrow is my due date but I will not go into labor.

Invisible.

However, in my invisibility, I know I am not alone.

There are hundreds of thousands of women who have walked this road before me.

I will not drown in my invisibility.

I will prosper and be healthy.

I anticipate tomorrow will be hard.

Jay & I will celebrate and mourn.

Together, we are not invisible.

And either is our baby.
