Words of Beauty

May 21, 2018 8:34am CST
When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.” ? William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet I saw this quote today on a friend's page. She lost a friend today to cancer. The quote made me think of my beautiful son, Nolan. His beautiful face, his beautiful, heart, his beautiful soul. If there is a Heaven, he made it more beautiful. I wish I felt more certain about the existence of Heaven.... It would make this journey as a grieving mother a little easier.

I can not even begin to imagine how difficult it is to lose a child. I am so sorry for your loss.

thanks it is very hard, even after 5.5 years. in some way, more difficult because it feels like a lifetime since I was able to see him, talk to him, give him a kiss goodnight

Those are beautiful lines. Your loss is so hard to imagine for those who have not suffered one that big.

it really is hard to imagine only because i remember when a friend lost a child about 3 months before i lost Nolan. i remember my thoughts about it from the time, mostly because it was so close to when i lost nolan.
