HEATHER'S SEVENTH ANGELVERSARY

Details: Created: Friday, 21 February 2014 12:07; Written by Lucy Kirkby

Today, Friday February 21,2014 is the seventh Angelversary of my Heather's passing. For some unknown reason, I thought it might be a little bit easier to handle. I thought wrong. It just gets harder to hold back the emotions and to attempt to function in a normal manner. There is no "normal". There never will be a "normal" again. This is a heartache that no parent should ever have to feel. A huge part of me is forever missing in this world. There is no understanding why. There is no "getting past". There is no "OK". There IS hurt, anger, jealously(of those with daughters my Heather's age), disappointment, and sadness. Being one with a very strong faith, I am comforted by the knowledge that I will one day be reunited with my Heather. I continue to look for "signs" that my girl is still with me. Sometimes I panic and think I can't feel her anymore. That is when I get one of those most recognizable, undeniable signs from Heather. She is ALWAYS with me. I just have to allow myself to feel and trust. FAITH. The connection between a Mother and Daughter is one that cannot be broken. Not even death can take it away.

To those that are reading this, hold your loved ones close. Be sure they know and feel how much you love them. Make wonderful memories together. Laugh, cry, talk, hold hands, hug, dance, just be together. Life is short. Have FAITH and BELIEVE. Give Thanks each and every day for all you have been blessed with.

To MY HEATHER,

I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts and prayers. Like always, it is a "purple" day, filled with songs by Train and listening to Drops of Jupiter several times. It is a beautiful, cool, sunny day. My mind is flooded with memories of you. Continue to watch over us and allow us to recognize the signs you send us. Know we will always love you and never, ever forget you. You continue to be a huge part of all our lives. I LOVE YOU.

Love,

Mom
