I lost both my children - my son to suicide in 2010 and my daughter to a terrible disease this past March. Today will not be easy for you and I want you to know that we are thinking of you and grieve however long you must.

I grieve for her in small and big ways even to this day. Don't mind those faces that can't understand why you are not "done with this yet". A part of you will never "get over it" and why should you feel bad about that? I'm not sure I would like the person I would have to be to "get over it". I honor that place in you that is love, light, peace and beauty. We are one. God Bless you!

"Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel I can't take it. Like my heart is going to cave in." And your expression... your writing... You help others feel. <br /><br />On a more concrete note, WOW! What a beautiful analogy/connection. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I was right there with you in a field full of dew drops, in the eyes of a cow. You should consider writing a screen play.

The days get better but I will always miss him and our relationship. I am sure it is the same with you and Avery. <br /><br />I often pray that the people who don't get it are lucky enough to continue not to get it. But of course will some day understand. It is they who will change not you. Because, as we both know, this is a sadness that never goes away. <br /><br />Hugs to you and your entire family.<br /><br />TheresaTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16948688927133617210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467695300141993139.post-67053636603394293672013-10-14T16:53:40.975-05:002013-10-14T16:53:40.975-05:00You are the perfect you.You are the perfect you.Brennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745748691362829308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467695300141993139.post-7729279099032575802013-10-14T10:02:05.821-05:002013-10-14T10:02:05.821-05:00This post made me think of my grandmother.

My GP (nickname for grandpa) died a year and a half ago, they were married for over 50 years and had a connection like nothing I have ever seen before. She is still struggling every day and she feels sad all the time still. Some people in our family want her to just move on, to be ok, but I don't think she ever will. She loves Jesus and has for a long time, and she has faith and hope, but she is just sad. I shared this post with her, and I hope it will help her. Thank you for sharing your grief and pain so openly with all of us, it gives me such peace and faith to know your story.Brenda C.

I remember being surprised to find out that others did not see as I see. I am both mathematical and artistic. It is fine to be who you were made to be.

That all of us that have been told we're weird or unique or why can't we be like everyone else, we have to embrace that God doesn't make junk. God is a beautiful creative God who makes beautiful masterpieces and each one of us is a masterpiece of His. Who are any of us to question what God considers a masterpiece? You grieve my friend, grieve big and long and loud if you must, and let those who are uncomfortable with it, move on and get over it themselves!!
