16 years 2023

 My sweet girl,  how can it be so very long,  16 years now. 

It's just so long.  

I miss you so. 

My heart aches.  ❤️ 

Words don't fit together to describe the journey.  It's mostly times of quietness for me.  Quiet grief.  Sometimes tears... sometimes silence. 

We'll go tomorrow to Lakeview Cemetery on the 27th, the 1st time since placing your ashes there last fall.  I don't know how it will go. 

Then we will join Christopher and Tiffany and Tom and Marty to go to Mi Bella for dinner together.  God will be with us as we remember you.  

Tim and Sally are in the Cinque Terre and will go to Manarola for you at the site of your death. My heart will be there with them.  

Tender.  I'm tender. 

Ache.

Miss.

You.

I was in Cinque Terre last October and found myself at the site of your daughter's memorial. I took photos of it and wondered about Sarah. Wondered who she was, what she did, how was she lost. I knew she was loved. I knew she was missed. Today I finally am searching for the answers to my questions. I am finding love and loss. I am finding beauty in words and art. More than anything, I am finding the kind of loss a mother should never know. I am so sad and sorry for that loss. I am also at peace to come to this place. I will visit again. I will read more. I will learn more. And I will be thankful that the universe put me in a place to have crossed this path. Peace and Grace be yours...
