Bless you for sharing this!

My brother was stillborn two years before I was born; he was my parents' first child. The umbilical cord became wrapped around his neck about three weeks before his due date.

This was in 1948. Until she died in 2000, Mom still said, "I wish I had insisted they let me see him." She always wished they had named him.

As your mother, she did not dwell on her loss, but his memory never left her and Dad. Every April she thought of him, and wondered what he would have been like.
