A year ago, my world ended.
On 7/15/2006 at 4:55 p.m., Cayleigh Aurora was born weighing 15.3 ounces and 11 inches long.
She was my everything. I have a permanent hole in my heart, soul and life.
I know that there will never be anything or anyone that can fill that or make it easier. But I also know she wouldn't want me to let my life waste away.

I didn't keep up with LJ much at all this past year, and heard about this in a very roundabout way, so apologies first off for this coming so late and so informal.

There are probably only so many times you can year "I'm sorry for your loss," before the words lose their meaning, and that point was likely long ago, but... I am sorry, for everything you've had to go through, and are still going through. I'm glad to hear that you're... not 'getting over,' because those are the wrong words, but that you're at a point where you begin to feel something other than loss. I can't begin to imagine what it's been like for you; at best, one can only try and relate through their own experiences, and to try and understand even just a fragment of what you've experienced.

Also, the lines you chose are from such a fantastic children's book (which has never failed to make me cry; see also, "The Legend of Sleeping Bear.") It's funny how a few, simple lines can stick with you for so long.

(Also, I saw your mom a few weekends ago after the art fair, and she gave me your number- and I lost the slip of paper it was written on. Mine is [I think?] different from before- mom and I switched phones a while back, and I don't remember if you have the old or new number. If you'd like to get together for lunch or just to talk, you can get ahold of me at 557-6813.)
