Thankful

grief is:
love
crying
a deep hole in my heart
remembering
her

thankful is:

my heart beating
without fail
breathing in deep each morning
feeling my cold toes
remembering her kicks
dreams for the future


My daughter died, and I am still thankful.  My life is full of great people and beautiful moments.  I have to be thankful.  I wish she was here with me to share all of this.

  1. I sometimes wish these blogs had a "like" button on Facebook...cause that is what I would click right now! Happy Thanksgiving, friend.

  2. Weird how we can still find a way to be grateful that our babies entered our lives even though their absence causes us a pain there are no words to explain. We still are grateful for the impact and legacy our babies leave behind. I am grateful for finding you and other BLM alike; without you guys I don't know where I'd be. Sending love...
