Your words are beautifully written and heart-wrenching. Brings back so many memories I endured as a child in a different light. The feelings were the same in many ways. The light surrounds us in the memories we hold dear and God is always near. Though the words I know were difficult to write, thank you for sharing. Inspires me to write what I should have written long ago. Hugs and love to you and your loved ones. Leanna
