She Holds My Fragile Heart



During a visit to the cemetery, I take a walk through the stones of the loved ones of others. And I see this statue. I didn't interpret it the way others might perhaps, that the angels hold the souls of our loved ones who leave their bodies for what is unknown to the living. I saw instead my child holding my heart with care.

I am so very tired.

  1. I know this is not your intention, but you have a way of taking my breath away.

    I can only imagine how intense it is to write this post rather than just read it.

  2. I wish you were holding her rather than her holding your heart, but since that cannot be, may she soothe your heart as she holds it gently. Hugs.
