eric

she was such a tiny little baby

six pounds

i held her in my hand like this

you got her?

yeah, I got her head

such a tiny little head

tiny little feet

couldn’t believe the world had entrusted her to us

to me

and i let her go

i let her down

all she needed…

all you have to do as a parent is just keep ‘em alive, keep ‘em breathing

and hold them tight

and i didn’t

i didn’t.

no wonder she ran away

my baby girl
