Tonight was a hard one.
Tonight you cried.
Tonight the enormity of what happened to your body washed over you.
Tonight the loss of time that never returns hit you like a wall and you wept for your baby who is looking more like a boy every day.
Tonight you needed comfort and you needed reassurance.
Most of all you needed love.
You are so frail. I am shocked every time I see it.
But you are so strong. Stronger than anyone I have ever known.
We talked about Purpose.
We talked about Reasons.
We talked about bargaining with fate.
We're halfway through.
Stages and milestones are ahead and we'll deal with them together.
In grief your entire body was wracked with pain. The magic that is holding you together, healing you so quickly, had to give way to this stage of grief and sorrow.
You are beautiful.
You are giving.
You are a good friend and sister and daughter.
You are an amazing mother.
You touch lives every day and you have touched my life so deeply, my dear sweet love, I will never be the same.
You are the unexpected sunrise and I am grateful to live another day in your light.
Tonight you cried.
I listened.
We spoke in soft tones.
And wouldn't you know it?
We began to laugh.
That laugh that sounds like a sudden rush of water in a trickling stream and fades into the gentle chuckling of a little brook. You are so soft and kind.
Why did this happen?
Maybe for that one moment when sorrow transformed into wistful wisdom.
Maybe for something more.
Whatever it is, we'll find out.
Together.
