6 Word Stories

I came across a blog about grief the other day. In it there was a post about writing six word stories. There was a list of things to write about. There were 11, but 1 isn't so applicable to our situation since we never got to know Nathaniel. I decided to try to come up with something for the other 10. It wasn't easy to find the right words when I could only use 6. So here they are.

A six word story:

1. about your loved one:  Never got to know him here
2. about the death:  Heard last heartbeat. Emergency surgery. Gone.
3. about you before he died:  Hating pregnancy. Ready to meet him.
4. about you after he died:  Not as strong as I seem
5. about a good memory:  Abby reading him lots of stories
6. about something that makes you mad:  Must breathe to get birth certificate
7. about something that gives you anxiety:  Anxious about everything. All the time.
8. about something that gives you hope:  I will meet him in heaven
9. about how you feel about death:  Too young to know this much
10. about your loved one's best quality
11. something you wish people knew about grief:  We'll always miss him. Every day.
