My second son wouldve been 33 today. The loss of a child is horrendous. A mother doesnt expect to outlive a child and certainly doesnt expect to live a life filled with grief, grief that interferes with every other area of life. Somehow the loss of Michael Francis Smith allowed me the privilege of making friends with grief at such a young age. It prepared me for when my brother was killed and it prepared me for the 5 miscarriages to come. Of course, I had no idea back then that I could befriend grief, nor did i have any idea that I was being held and loved during such intense pain so that I could one day hold that pain and sorrow for others. So for anyone in pain right now, please know that LOVE is always with you, with a bigger purpose, a more expansive presence and a way through that will be a blessing in the passage of time. Night night baby boy, I am always with you, just like i was with you on your first and then your last day on this Earth xoxo
