You should know...

When you sweep aside Max, you sweep me aside too. When you act like I should be over him by now, what I hear is that you are over me. When you deny him, ignore him, and pretend like he never existed - you shut me out and close me down. When I try to talk to you about him and you don't listen - I feel it and it keeps me from connecting to you.

Because, you see, Max IS my soul. He is part of the very essence of who I am and my loss of him will be etched into every moment of my life forever. 

Just thought you should know.

How could he not be etched in to your soul... look at that face. He is beautiful.

I don't know how you could ever 'get over' the loss of Maxie. I don't understand how anyone could ever suggest such a thing. I'm sorry that people still can't get it. I'm sorry that anyone ever adds to your heartache by making you feel swept aside or by sweeping beautiful Maxie and his memory aside. It's callous and unfair to say the least. As Maxie's birthday approaches, please know that we remember him and love him dearly. We will always listen when you talk about him and we will always mourn his loss. Sending you, Teddy, Mo, Myla, Mace and Maxie all of the love in the world. xo
