Friday, February 17, 2012 9:09 AM CST Sometimes, the pain is so fresh that we ignore it but deep in our unconscious we know it is there and will not leave until we acknowledge it.
It has been one of those weeks for some reason and all three of us have felt it. Even though, we haven’t spoken of it, it is there for us. One of those weird kismet moments that still surprises me even though they have happened numerous times in the last 5 years.
Yesterday, so innocently, I turned on the Piglet Movie CD so that Tessa, Johnny and I could play marching band. It was tons of fun to pretend and so perfect. Johnny was so serious bringing his knees up high and blowing into the metal tube calling it his tuba. Tessa and I couldn’t help but follow. But then the next song came on and stopped the happy moment for Tessa. She melted into a ball and cried, no sobbed, for over 15 minutes. All I could think was this was how I was feeling all week but I hadn’t allowed my body or mind to acknowledge those feelings. Dave came up a few minutes later and said, “I cried this week too”.
Bam! Those moments hit you like a pile of bricks. We were all feeling it but Why? Why the week of Valentine’s Day did we all feel so helpless and feel the missing presence of our daughter who was taken from us. I still cannot explain the mysteriousness of loosing a daughter and have had philosophical conversations in my head about it.
Someone, probably Noelle, is telling us to not loose hope. We will all be together again.
