The heart knows goodness. In the spirit of Christmas I want to wish each and every one of you my heart-felt gratitude for following my grief journey. You have not only held me in the palm of your hand, but so many others like me who have lost a child.

      He sure did have a big beautiful heart. I suppose that is why he appears that way to me in a whoosh moment. He is only 1 of two who grew listening to the beat of my heart...sigh...just a mom moment and maybe why it is so difficult to separate myself <3

    I love seeing your collection of hearts! You always write beautiful, sweet, inspiring sentiments. It's a very difficult time of year for many of us. But, you are a role model, Lisa! I'm know that this is not a path of choice, but you are travelling it with grace. XOXO

    Never in a million did I think this would be my path. I suspect it is the injustice of it all that makes me more vocal than I normally would be. I do try to put my most gracious self forward, but as you know its not aways easy. We do what we do to honor our sons. I love your heart.
