It hits me.
Hard.
And I never saw it coming.
The sadness. The sorrow. The grief. It is right here – front and center.
Today, in my office. In the middle of the afternoon.
She died almost 20 years ago and yet, I still cry.
Will I ever stop crying over losing her? I hope not.
But I wish I could get a handle on the weird times the tears just start. They just come right out of the clear blue. For no apparent reason. I start crying and the sorrow is so great. The salty tears running like water from a spring.
Then…it passes. I remember that I am thankful for a few short days back in 1992. A few short days that changed my life forever.
I miss you, Amy.

Oh Mary, I wish I could take that pain away. I don't know why the sadness hits at certain times, but sometimes it feels so good to cry. Sending hugs your way. ~Kathleen
Soft hearts release tears. God is near to you, Mary. May you know his sweet comfort.
My heart bleeds for you--
Please don't ever stop writing about her-
I think there is always a hole in our heart when we've lost a child and ever so often our heart needs to cry to release the pain....
I pray God will wrap His loving arms around you and remind you that He is holding you close even in your pain.....
Thank you everybody.
I'm so sorry, Mary. The Lord holds every tear of yours - and will turn your grief into joy. I pray He brings you peace tonight.
I pray you feel the Lord's presence in a new and fresh way.
Hugs,
Karen
so sad... I am sorry. I don't know your story but I hear and feel the pain.
Darling sweet Amy ... was she with you just a short time? Sweet tears.
Fondly,
Glenda
