My blog's focus started out as an exercise to help me learn to live with the deep grief I was experiencing after my daughter's unexpected death. Looking back on the blog I truly hope some of the posts have touched other people's hearts who are living with the heartbreak of losing someone they love. Many years later the focus shifted to include things that I find interesting or compelled to share but I have never lost the main focus of the blog--GRIEF. (updated Jan 2024)

Love to Laura
Happy Valentine's Day to my angel, Laura
I am sending you all my love, loads of kisses, and lots of hugs,
today and every day. I want you to know that you are missed
so much by Dad and me. My heart still has a huge hole in it,
which will never heal until I see you again. Until that day, I will
keep looking for signs that you send me
to let me know you are with me. Keep being my shining star!

This
is so true! I love for people to share their memories of my daughter.
Especially during the holidays, when the absence of our daughter is intensified.
It warms my heart so much to hear Laura's name spoken.
Her best friend, Michael. never forgets to contact us for the holidays and reminds us that he will never forget his dear friend. A mother and father always want to keep their child’s memory alive. Fifteen years later, Laura’s sweet, kind, and compassionate friend never forgets us! I hope he realizes how special he is to us.
