Oct. 30, 2007 - Bittersweet Day
Today is a bittersweet day.
In case you are reading this and have not heard: We lost our baby last week. We named him Solon and are burying him today.
We were walking through the cemetery yesterday and my sweet daughter H was sitting next to my grandmothers grave. (Now, for background, this child has seen quite a bit of death during her short five years of life.) She looked up at me and said, matter of factly (like she says everything), "Cemeteries are full of love Mama."
The cemetery visits that we have made during her lifetime have taught this child something that she taught me yesterday. Cemeteries are full of love.
Yes, yes they are. Today they are.
Thank you all for your prayers, meals, emails, and support. We love you.
