My sister in-law delivered my niece at 24 weeks she was stillborn. I heard this song a few months after Kailyn passed away and I cried. It is an awesome song and has so much meaning to it. I listen to it when I feel down about her passing. I know I am never alone and she will always be there. I held my niece once and that is a moment I will never ever forget. You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.

I believe it was played for you, Stacy...It reminds me in a special way of this time that I met this writer that I admire so much. It was kind of awkward because I wanted to tell him that his words brought me comfort when I had to prepare a eulogy for someone whom I loved so much. I told the writer that I was almost through with giving the eulogy and then I quoted his work and then I really lost it. The writer told me that it was because I needed to cry, and that he was glad his words could enable me to do what I needed to do. I am glad for you that you have friends, family, books, and even music that are letting you to experience this grief, although it may seem like everything you do doesn't even quell even the smallest bit of that grief, but I know it would be so much worse if you didn't feel it and feel it now. My prayers are with you and I continue to thank you for your brave BRAVE words of honesty here.
