Timmy’s Mom ~

I cannot possibly tell you how much your words meant to me.

They are beautiful and I cherish the sentiment.

None of us is alone. Even in the space that feels like no one else could ever inhabit. We’re not alone.

Thank you so much for reaching out.

All you feel for Katie and Brooke I feel for you, and then some. You have, and still cause tears to run down my face all for the love of you.

i am so grateful for your honesty and your willingness to share your feelings in such an extraordinary way. what you do with words can be compared to what doctors do with medicines. know that you’ve hugged a stranger and added some oxygen to the invisible, suffocating isolation that, we know, only some can relate to. thank you jess.

“that when i start in the middle, it becomes the beginning” I think this is true of most things.

‘that watching her love playing big sister to her ‘best modeling friend’ – a typical nearly six year old – is incredibly bitter sweet’. i so get this.

that you and your precious family are blessed. that you know how to cherish those blessings and each other.

“that when i talk to her on the phone i may not realize there are tears streaming down my face until the mom sitting next to me says, ‘it’s ok. you’ll see her soon.’”

Ugh, you got me with that one. I started crying, too!
And, no, you are not the only one who thinks your children are beautiful…AND we know tha camera doesn’t begin to capture the true beauty of either of them. xo
