After about six years, I realised I had to bury the baby I had invented in my heart. It was a heartbreaking day. I grieved as if that imaginary child were real. I ached and cried and sobbed for hours, weeks, months, years. A thousand miracles followed that sad day, and somehow faith found strength to leap. I'm pleased to say that our miraculous daughter, Grace, is now 9 months and 6 days old. I get all the joy of being a proud mummy, but that's not to say I don't completely and painfully understand the emotion of "A Mother Weeping". I think you got the feelings 100% right, Hugh. A very special drawing,... Anna. Hugh,

A very special drawing,…
