It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone. Rose Kennedy
Dear Jake,
Tomorrow it will be 7 years since your Dad and I held you. I am still not sure how anyone got me to leave the NICU that Friday night. I have nothing really new to tell you. It is another day without you. Tomorrow will come and you will officially be gone for 7 years. The numbers do not matter. I will miss you forever. Love you always. I will look for you in my dreams.

So sad and confusing how time passing makes the absence both harder and easier. Big hugs.

Mourning is born, but NEVER dies….
much love & hugs from Minnesota. X
btw, whoever uttered “Time Heals All Wounds”- obviously has not experience death or pain…

I’m so sorry for your loss. It will be two years soon for losing my Asher. My heart aches for us both. God Bless

Short, poignant, raw, true.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
