Denise, Ken, Tara and family, I have no words of comfort because they won't comfort you. I have no sage advice to move through what you are in the midst of. It would never work. I have sorrow. Very much sorrow. I have gratitude I got to see her in the summer and she was wonderful. I will hold onto her excitement to be home and hanging on my arm telling me she loved me. I loved her too. My heart has a hole. THIS is not supposed to be the way life goes. I send you all my prayers that the angels escorting her to a perfect love return to give comfort and strength to you all as you remain behind to miss her. I pray for peace as you conquer each emotion and hurdle. This journey is not easy. Never for a parent or sibling. No love is like that of yours. Keeping you in tight prayers. She will forever be my Chinese Kissing kid. I still smile when I remember her innocent curiosity and the tender age where things were literal. Shush always part of my 4-pack. Fondly, Mary
