“I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.”

– Alfred Tennyson

‘I can trust my feelings to help me speak the truth.’

We had a very special visit from your Aunt Toya this past weekend. It was great to see here even for the short time I had with her. She spent quite a bit of time with Ash and they had a great visit.

It’s funny to learn that certain people have excommunicated her from the ‘family’ just as they did with me and with Ashley. People are not disposable. You know that I am a firm believer in ‘do unto others’.

I love you so very much and miss you every second of every day! I hope that you are well, and resting peacefully.

“There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love the only survival the only meaning.”

– Thornton Wilder

‘I know that love does not cease with the event of death.’

‘All is forgiven. All is forgiven. All is forgiven.’

“What restraint or limit should there be to grief for one so dear?”

– Horace

‘Only from within me can my timetable of grief be discovered.’

‘I need make no excuses to anyone – not even to myself – in taking time to let the depleted wells of my energy fill up again.’

‘I have a strength within myself that sometimes surprises me.’

‘As often as I need to, I will tell my story.’

‘I will watch for my own moments in the garden.’

‘I will deal honestly with my pain; we know each other well.’
