What do you see?

Closing the door, locking the latch

Her unsteady hand struck the match

No one to sing, no cause for joy

Remembering her birthday boy

This is the day he would have turned one

Only sad thoughts for a missing son.

There are a number of cases over here that would fit your story, so difficult, but I can only imagine.
