Day 3 - Essence
Lily Tyne. What is the
essence of Lily? Love. From the moment we found out I was pregnant, there was a
new love and happiness that entered our lives. Different to any I had
experienced before. When we found out at the 20 week scan that there were
concerns for her (even we understood having half a heart was going to be
serious!), that love didn’t change, or if it did, it intensified. From the moment
we knew she existed, she was our baby, our child, with all the love and hopes
and dreams that came with it. Every scan and appointment we had from 20 weeks
brought worse and worse news. But the very essence of Lily never changed. She
was love, she is loved, she filled our lives with new love and we decided that
no matter what, we would celebrate Lily,
the love she brought, and her life, for as long as we had her. Perhaps it
seemed to some that we were in denial, but it was more about making a choice
(and it was a conscious choice we made) to embrace the love and the happiness
in that time rather than dwell on what may lie ahead.
The essence of Lily’s life
was love. She was love, she brought love, she was (and is) loved and all she
knew was love. And in the end, that’s what life is about, isn’t it?
