My Forever Angel

When I wrote the album “My Story” at the beginning of this year, I told a lot of my story but I left out one very important part. Twenty-five years ago, I lost an unborn child. At the time, her mother and I weren’t together. I didn’t even know she existed until after she was gone. I found out later, and for 25 years, I carried that pain quietly. I never told anyone. No one in my family knew. No friends knew. I buried it somewhere deep inside of me and convinced myself that if I didn’t talk about it, maybe I didn’t have to deal with it. But recently, that pain came back to the surface. And I realized that by keeping the pain buried, I was also keeping an important part of my story buried. I don’t want to do that anymore. She was my daughter. She mattered. And although I never had the opportunity to hold her, hear her voice, watch her grow up, or tell her how much her daddy loved her, she has always been a part of me. Over the years, I’ve often wondered who she would be today and what she would look like. I’ve wondered what her personality would have been like, what she would have loved, the kind of woman she would have grown into, and what our relationship would have been like. Those are questions I’ll never have the answers to, but they’ve stayed with me all these years. So I wrote “My Forever Angel.” This is, without question, the most personal song I have ever written. Every word comes from a place I kept closed for 25 years. And this song is not only for me. “My Forever Angel” is for anyone who has ever lost a child before birth. For every mother and father who carried that pain, whether they spoke about it openly or suffered with it quietly. I will no longer keep this part of my life a secret. I will honor her. I will remember her. And I will carry her with me until the day God calls me home and, hopefully, I finally get the chance to hold the daughter I never got to hold here on Earth. You are my Forever Angel. 🕊️ Forever in my heart. Forever a part of my story. Forever my baby girl. My Forever Angel. ❤️🕊️ #MyForeverAngel #BabysBaby #MyStory #ForeverInMyHeart #ChildLoss
