Leigh, du blog Headspace Perspective, m’a récemment fait connaitre le « Alphabet Photo Project ». Depuis quelques semaines, par le biais de cette exercice collectif de photos, je découvre des éléments de sa vie et de son fils Hugo. Jusqu’à maintenant, je n’ai pas senti le besoin et le courage de m’astreindre à des exercices d’écriture proposés par d’autres blogues. Mais comment passer à côté de la lettre de cette semaine? (et j’en profite pour essayer un billet bilingue).
Leigh, at Headspace Perspective, has allowed me to discover the the « Alphabet Photo Project » by sharing her weekly photos and accompanying pieces, revealing glimpses of her life as the mother of Hugo. Though i have not joined any weekly blogging prompts, I feel like i couldn’t pass up this week of the Alphabet Photo Project, focusing on the letter P. (and, as you see, I am also trying out a bilingual post.)
P pour Paul.
Mon bébé, mon enfant émouvant, petite merveille, pure perfection. Paul qui habite mes rêves, et emplit mon quotidien malgré son absence.
P pour Patrice.
Mon amoureux, mon coéquipier dans ce périple. Qui sait garder le cap, m’accompagner, nous aider à avancer malgré les éléments qui se déchainent contre nous.
P pour papa à la maison.
Ce que Patrice devrait être maintenant. Un rôle qui lui aurait si bien été. Une voie toute tracée pour lui, ce qu’il rêvait de devenir pour Paul, ce qu’il deviendra un jour j’espère pour sa petite sœur ou son petit frère.
P pour parents.
Ce que nous sommes devenus ensemble. En attendant Paul, en prenant soin de lui. En l’adorant et en l’entourant pendant toutes les minutes de son passage avec nous. En prenant pour lui la pire décision de notre vie.
P for Paul.
My baby, my marvel, my perfect child. Paul, who lives on in my dreams, and fills my days despite his absence.
P for Patrice.
My love, my partner in this journey. Who keeps us going, helps us move forward despite the elements raging against us.
P for « stay at home Papa ».
What Patrice should be doing now. A role so fitting, a clear path traced for him. What he dreamed of being for Paul, what i hope he can be, eventually, for Paul’s little sister or little brother.
P for parents.
What we became together. While expecting Paul. Through taking care of him, adoring him and surrounding him with our love, every minute of his time with us. And by making the worst decision of our lives for him…

Quelle belle déclaration d’amour aux hommes de ta vie !
Prends bien soin de toi
What a precious photo. Thanks for sharing! And thanks for writing in English, it is so much easier to read for me (despite the fact that I learned French first…) – but I used to have a bilingual blog and know how much work it is.
I hope Patrice will get to be a stay at home papa someday.
oh. I didn’t know you speak french.
I don’t think i could do a fully bilingual blog but i enjoy translating some posts to be able to better connect with the mostly english speaking baby-loss moms whose blogs i follow…
and thank you for your kind comment.
belle photo, Typhaine xoxo
« P is for Paul. My baby, My marvel. » My marvel. amazing. I am swept away by your words.
That is such a beautiful picture. It takes my breath away, really, to think he was here and so perfect and is gone. What a beautiful baby, beautiful father.
Oh my word, such an adorable photo – I just love that. So many great letter P’s too. Thank you so much for sharing with #alphabetphoto
