Notes: Lyrics It's a camp song, but I thought it spoke so nicely of Quinn's situation that it was begging to be used. Plus, it's one of my favorites.
Quinn lay in her hospital bed running her fingers over a pink blanket. If she breathed in deep, she could still smell the scent of the sweet newborn that had been wrapped in the blanket hours before. Now, it was all she had left of the baby she’d carried inside her for nine months. The blanket she’d been wrapped in while Quinn held her, covered her tiny face with gentle kisses, told her how much she loved her and that she would always be her daughter. The moment was beautiful but fleeting, like a star shooting across the night sky.
