I've been struggling to find words to write a loving letter to you. I can't seem to reach in deep enough to discover the ones that fit. Your second birthday is tomorrow, and I feel like I have been poured out with no more syllables, phrases, or verse. I have only these.
I love you.
I miss you.
I'm sorry you aren't with me.
Love,
Your mother.
Hi there, thank you for visiting my blog and your sweet words. I am very sorry for the loss of your sweet Caitlyn. I hope you do something wonderful to honor your little angel tomorrow, I know it helps me anyway. I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Hugs, Nan xo
ReplyDeleteThat's all you need to say. Big hugs and I am so, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteWhat else is there to say? Tears and hugs.
ReplyDeleteThose are the biggest and best words to say.

She hears even more than those words. She can read your heart.
ReplyDeleteBirthday love to your sweet girl. Iknow you are missing her and there are no words for that pain. "I love you's" work the best. Hugs to you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteSending you love and thinking about Caitlin. Sometimes the simplest words are the best.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you and sharing tears today. I am sorry she isn't with you. I hope you don't mind, but I had a few thoughts for your baby girl.
ReplyDeleteDear Caitlin,
Although I did not have the blessing of knowing you, I have been given the gift of finding your mother. I'm sure you must already know this, but your mother is a wonder. She often takes my breath away with her words. I have never met her "in real life", but I've quickly learned that isn't even necessary. Your mother makes me want to be a better person, she has changed my life. I have found her to be one of the most courageous people I've ever known...truly. She amazes me with her compassion, insight, and lack of bitterness. You must be so very proud. I am thinking of your mom today, and sending her so much love.
p.s. If there is some way, if by some miracle you happen upon my baby girl, could you give her a hug from me? Thank you Caitlin, thank you.
That is all there is.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that Caitlin isn't with you.
I am hearing all the words in between those lines. Our hands can write and our mouths can speak, but the central places of loss in our bodies--the heart and belly and arms--they speak their own language of quiet in between.

I agree with everyone else here, Caitlin know the words of your heart and feels your love. Be strong tomorrow and do something for just you and her. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. Remembering with you. Wishing she were here.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...wishing things were different.

Those words are perfect. I'm so sorry Caitlin is not here with you. I am thinking of you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI think those words say it all. I'll be holding you and your family in my heart.
