It will be one year Sunday, June 15, since we held our daughter's hand for the last time. The grief is always there, just under the surface and never leaves. I miss her so. Our lives are now measured by this one date, before and after. How I yearn for before. Brianna was loved by so many and is thought of everyday by her family and friends. We will spend the day going through her room and trying to acknowledge Father's Day. We thank you for your love and support.
"I put down these memorandums of my affections
In honor of tenderness,
In honor of all of those who have been
Conscripted into the brotherhood
Of loss..."
~ Edward Hirsch
Sending hugs and prayers your way for comfort. I know Brianna's angel wings will be wrapping around you this weekend tighter than ever.
xoxo
