Day 7, Capturing My Grief

Day 7, What To Say

So many of us can agree.  The most important thing you can say is our angel's name.  This weekend, my cousin's daughter was visiting and we were all playing in the yard.  We were trying to show my niece there was nothing to be afraid of in the dark by explaining the shadowy figures she saw.  My cousin's daughter totally shocked me when she pointed left and said, "That's Carpenter's tree over there."  Every single time I hear someone say his name, my heart smiles.  Because as long as we all talk about him, remember him, remind each other he is real...he lives on.  

Clinging to the moments someone randomly says my son's name...this is my grief.
