Through the unbearable ache and pain of losing you 17 years ago. The pain is still there and so is the grief of going on with my life’s journey without you. I try to make sense of this painful heartache although I know that it was our lord’s will to call you home but the still sleepiness nights yet wanting to sleep, to dream of you, and never wake up because I see you, I hold you, and I smell you. The flow of my never ending tears when I’m alone, where no one sees me. The pretending to be a strong woman like people say I am when in reality I’m not. Then, I come across the word “Gratitude” and it seems like such an insignificant word. But it makes my heart realize the real importance of having my family and my friends in my life is because Life has become a precious gift, a gift of Hope.
I love you baby girl with all my heart. - Your Momma Lety
