Today sucks! That may seem a little harsh, but that's how I feel about February 21st. A lot of bad memories surround today, along with a few really great ones. I remember driving home from the hospital and thinking that I couldn't wait for some time to pass so that it wouldn't hurt so much. For the most part, time is the perfect healer. But today my heart aches just as it did on this day 7 years ago.
When you lose your spouse, you're a widow. When you lose your parents, you're an orphan. But there is no word to define a parent who has lost a child. That's because there are no words to describe the pain and helplessness you feel when your child is suffering or passes away. It's just not supposed to happen.
It's been too long since I've held my little boy and kissed his sweet little cheeks. I look forward to an eternity with my perfect little guy.
