She was severe RAD, at the time we did not know anything about it. My heart grieves for her every single day. Every day passes and I wonder about both of them, how they are, what they are thinking and feeling, if they are ok, if they will forgive me for not being able to be their mommy. <br />I don't have any words of encouragement, just wanted you to know that you aren't alone. ~JessJessica Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195933657619122165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138659554856582409.post-71547525937137655452010-06-14T20:24:05.520-07:002010-06-14T20:24:05.520-07:00Thank you Corey for saying what you did!!

They tear at their robes and then they sit on the ground with him, not saying a word, for 7 days and nights.<br /><br />Sometimes I picture us, those of us who are in this together and know.. as sitting there together on the ground, not saying a word. We don't need to, because of the communion of our pain.<br /><br />I guess I did have something to say.<br /><br />xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
