That's so heartbreaking. But very interesting as well. I should try this myself.

Those words, though few, really say so much. If I may, I think "wicked cute" is apt--that picture down there is so precious. Missing your boy with you today.

So much in so few words, and such a roller coaster. I think the Home?!!? and Hurrayyyy! are what made me tear up - those high hopes. Sending love.
ReplyDeleteI needed to clean out my email box and went back to some of the oldest stuff and found myself in 2007 with this. Perhaps needless to say, these messages did not get deleted (though I briefly wanted to throw up when I thought I had deleted them).
ReplyDeleteRoller coaster pretty much describes it. I remember the feeling of seeing the Home?!!? and Hurrayyy! as I sat down to email people to let them know Henry had died. Part of the surrealness of it all.
A life in 20 statements. Like a list of chapters. Surreal. Thanks Sara, this post has churned up many thoughts in my heart. Love to you and your 3 babes tonight.
