Truth of the matter is, a blighted ovum is the biggest mindfuck.

Egg and sperm meet.

The pregnancy test is positive.

Symptoms arise.

But the embryo never develops.

Blank. Non-existent. A black hole.

Still, I know in my heart of hearts that you were real. You existed. You mattered.

Bright like a star. Even if it only lasted for a second.

And you would not leave my body.

I was pregnant, but not really.

TOTAL MINDFUCK.

That is how it felt anyway.

My body failing you, failing me.

And I had to let you go.

Please know that it was not easy, but I cannot thank you enough for making it easy for me.

Bright like a star. Passing by.

Your dad and I will remember you always, Little Star.

Mahal kita. Ich liebe dich. I love you.
