for Andie…
Maybe she was simply needed
In another place, too perfect for this one. The
Raw reality of her
Absence still fresh years later. Taken just after
Christmas—the sheer timing cruel. A
Loss so incomprehensible
Especially in
One so young. Life unrolls in delicate,
Fragile waves, ridden but not understood. We
Trust
He has a plan
Even while we
Languish, gasping for air. And then
A reminder. Hope, love, beauty touches the
Depths of a mother’s heart.
Yellow, raw pain soothed as hundreds of ladybugs—
Brilliant red dots of joy—
Uproot
Grief. If only for a moment.

Kim Croisant says
just beautiful and I too am so sorry for her loss. I lost my adult son 3 years ago and so I know how she is feeling. She will ALWAYS need you…never ever forget her. It seems everyone has forgotten that I lost my only child. It saddens me.
