...my little girl was still alive, even though she was not little at the time, rather an amazing young woman. I miss you so much, my dear Mim. I miss you so much.
Now I know why you & your Mim were on my mind & heart soooo much in the last week. It has been such a pressure in my spirit that it was almost tangible. I cannot tell you how many times Kate & I revisited your tribute site with all the wonderful pictures & music; & wept together for your loss. Remembering the news of the accident as if it were yesterday, & can't believe it has been 10 years.
I am sending you a whole lotta love & want you to know that I honor Melissa's time in her earthly body, and the lives that she touched.
Not that we're in a grieving competition, but when I compound my multiple losses of family, and my husband- it still pales to you losing your child. Because you've willingly kept your heart open, & publicly pay tribute to the people you've loved, I've been able to verbalize & clarify how I want to tell the world about the importance & special gifts MY people have left in this world. As I've watched you stumble, crawl, & walk thru the last 10 years, I've seen such grace in you. I hate that this year has seemed so much worse; I'm betting that there's some connection to the "decade" milestone in combination with your relocation. What do you think?

I absolutely believe it is the decade milestone and quite likely the move and still adapting to being single that has made it harder for me this year. I had company last night. My s-i-l came over and we made dinner and watched When In Rome.
Oh Lu! I haven't been here in a while, but it did cross my mind when we were down in P.E.I. this past week. I remember that's where I was when I heard about Melissa.
Lots of love and strength is being sent your way. You had the privilege of being a wonderful mother to a special human being, even if it was only for a short time. Cherish it and the memories it leaves with you.
