I too as your momma …put off my anticipatory grief by waiting until now to read your “grief catch-up”. Sooooo momma just got brave today and read on….You truly are a gifted writer who is able to look deep inside and express all the joy and muck we experience in life. Unfortunately or NOT, as your mom I want to scoop you up in my big ol’ arms and bring you home to ME…so I can pretend that I can protect you from all the trauma you’ve experienced since you entered this world. . But….I can’t and you won’t come. … or should I come to you?? Don’t worry….I won’t. I have to keep reminding myself your undeserving curse is this pain…. yet it’s also gifted you the the opportunity for healing and sharing ….with loved ones and for those unable to express what is felt in isolation, pain and terror. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH
