9 years

Today is a strange day....today marks 9 years......

9 years since you left us.....

Today your brother is exactly the same age that you were.....

well minus 1 week.

You have been in our conversations a lot this last couple of weeks....

Mainly because your brother has been very curious and sentimental about you...asking lots of questions....

He wonders again when you died...how old you were.....

wonders why his cousins don't have an understanding of who you are...

wonders where he was when you were here.....

Is putting the pieces together that you nearly had the same birthday but that he decided to arrive exactly one week late....

He arrived just 4 months too late to meet you...

He is figuring all this out and with all the questions too...questions that get more complicated each year....he is a thinker.....he thinks about our family a lot...he thinks about you a lot.

Tells me that he misses you and that he is sad too.....

he knows we get sad but I reassure him that we want him to ask the questions...we want to keep talking about you

Meg has remembered today is your angel day.....she understands much clearer and is very sensitive to making us sad....

So 9 years have gone...your brother is 8 1/2 years old...in some ways you seemed older and yet strangely so little...being our first....  he our last....


We have a lot of bottles filled with our tears stored somewhere...9 years of tears is a lot of tears.....

Life has continued on for us....harder oh so much harder ,but still moving onwards.....
 we will continue to talk about you...share who you are with your brother and your sister and their cousins.....

Continue to long for the day we will share you with them......all together.....group hug.

  4. Oh Bron. Well said. It is such a leaving and a bewilderment of trying to get that they have left, because it just doesn't make sense ever. That is lovely that your boy has a sense of her place and missing.
    You are doing a great job moving and holding at the same time.xx
