And can it be that in a world so full and busy,
the loss of one small creature makes a void in any heart,
so wide and deep that nothing
but the width and depth of vast eternity can fill it up.

Birthday wishes   / Mommy
Three years, Baby Alex. We miss you every day and still wish you were with us. Mother's Day fell on your birthday this year and it was, as a friend described it, complicated. Your baby brother Myles is here with us now, but I can't help but think of ...  Continue >>

His legacy
Remember  
Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day.
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
