寫給在天堂的妻子
那天晚上我第一次獨自躺在我們的床上，Ilaria睡在嬰兒床里，我對你說：“喬安妮，你應該在我身邊，我需要你。”我是如此渴望你當時能躺在我身旁。等她慢慢長大，我會讓她了解你，比如我會試著做一些你會做給Ilaria吃的東西，讓我們漂亮的Ilaria了解她媽媽，即使她不記得你……
When Christian Spragg's wife Joanne gave birth they were full of excitement… until she died just hours later. In a moving letter, Christian tells why he'll make sure their daughter Ilaria knows all about her mum.
My darling Joanne,
I still remember the conversation we had just a month before our baby daughter Ilaria was born.
Out of the blue you asked me how I'd look after her if anything happened to you. I remember telling you not to be silly but you were serious. "I'd just want you to tell her often how much her mummy loved her," you said.
"And to tell her what sort of person I was. And make sure she's clean and tidy and eats her vegetables!" Now I'm so glad we had that conversation. And I hope I've done things as you wanted.
I just wish with all my heart that you were here to enjoy all the special moments we've shared since you were taken from us.
The memories of our time together are so treasured for me now.
You used to laugh when I said I fell in love with you the moment we met but I did. I saw you in a nightclub and finally gathered the courage to ask if you'd like a drink. I couldn't believe my luck when you said yes.
I asked you to be my wife in Venice.
We splashed out on a gondola ride, giggling to ourselves. I remember you tilted your head up to the sun and told me that this was one of the best days of your life. And when you walked down the aisle I knew I'd married my soulmate, "the one".
When we found out you were pregnant we were ecstatic and soon we discovered it was a girl and spent the months running up to the birth getting the nursery ready.
Every time our baby kicked you'd grab my hand, put it on your tummy and say, "Can you feel her Christian? She's so lively!"
You wanted to call our daughter Ilaria after a family friend you'd met in Venice. You found out that in Latin it meant "always happy."
We saw Ilaria before she was born. We had a 3D scan where you can see your baby's face 主站蜘蛛池模板： 麻城市| 保山市| 陆河县| 玉门市| 石屏县| 多伦县| 理塘县| 台东市| 建湖县| 瑞金市| 台中县| 尚义县| 敦化市| 宜章县| 隆安县| 鄢陵县| 巴东县| 肥西县| 开原市| 湟源县| 若尔盖县| 宣恩县| 长兴县| 石景山区| 青河县| 荣成市| 乌鲁木齐市| 松江区| 微博| 湘阴县| 朝阳区| 泰兴市| 金塔县| 松阳县| 兴义市| 新源县| 尼勒克县| 江城| 乌拉特后旗| 新宁县| 宁乡县|
