Remembering

This seems like so long ago. It was our first moment together and he was looking up at me. I even got to nurse him for a moment. And so quick so quick he was whisked away. It still hurts remembering how brief was our bonding. I should have been holding him close. And I look at this picture and think of it now as he looks up at me with feverish eyes. And I am tired of
holding him for seven days as this influenza exhausts his body with its But it is exactly what he needs from me right now.
