Your words, sentiments and insights are so stark. You have taught me, and continue to teach me, so much about loss and compassion through your writing. I always dug having fun with you, but what I loved and love about you is your humanity and the powerful intellect that you use to express it. I am so heartbroken for you and Ted. And I am heartbroken for Maxie, whose life was way way way too short and who missed out on a beautiful future with his mom and dad and gorgeous brother. And for Mo, who won't know his brother. It is just sad beyond words. Sending love and good thoughts now and always.Rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-83419462493623835072012-12-18T06:05:28.559-08:002012-12-18T06:05:28.559-08:00So powerful.

You can see right through every facade now...and I hope it helps you to know who truly loves for and cares about you and Ted and Mo and Maxie. But like you said, it's a gift with the ultimate price tag...one I wish you have never paid. I am so sorry Maxie isn't here with you now Abs.

It is something that kicked in almost immediately..somehow she saw all the people who surrounded her with new eyes. She could see those that were good, those who were hurting, those who seemed lost, those who were dark etc. She never questioned her assessment of people because something in the fibers of her being reassured her that what she was seeing was true and real. Her whole world had been turned upside down in an instant and made little sense, yet amid the chaos and uncertainty she had a vision of the world that was so clear and perfect that she could not doubt it. She knew she could unequivocally trust her senses. I find this so interesting, because I don't think this ability to read the souls of others is something that many people have. It is a gift, but it is so painfully won.Tarynnoreply@blogger.com
