My Resolutions


Grey,


I promise to never darken your spirit with my sorrow.


I promise to make you as proud of me as I am of you.


I promise to focus on the time I had with you, not the time I'll have without you.


I promise to share your story with everyone I know.


I promise to not turn our house into your shrine.


I promise to do things for me, as though you were here and healthy.


I promise to treat your brothers as I treated you.


I promise to allow your loss to make our family stronger instead of breaking us down.


I promise to live each day as though there is no tomorrow.


I promise to remember what is really important.


I promise to see you every time I look into your daddy's eyes and not be sad.


Happy New Years Baby.


Love,

Forever Your Mom

Nicole,

The sentences you wrote are the most beautiful that I have ever read. Wow, is all I can say.
