Joshua

If that horrible haematoma hadn't stolen you away when you were still growing in my body, you would be here today.  You would be 2 years, 5 months and 6 days old going by your due date of 24th April 2009.

I am staying with some friends who have a little boy who would be the perfect playmate for you, he's just a bit younger than you would be now.  I have no doubt you would be taller than him because I know you would have inherited your dad's height.  I wonder if you'd have full lips and dark brown hair just like him too, or would you be a little blondie like I was?

You'd probably be speaking almost in full sentences, a mixture of English and Australian accents in your words.  And you'd love talking on the phone to your Nanna and Grandpa in Sydney too.  And your uncles Matty & John, they'd be really excited to be on their way here in a few weeks' time to come and meet you in person.

I feel so sad, knowing that I will never know you, my son.
