My almost 6-year-old hugs the tree whenever we visit. In October, while lighting a candle for her sister, she said "I wish she were here so I can hug her instead of a tree." Children have a way to cut right through to the core of our grief.Melissahttp://catchupdaphne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-51286500786265507052011-12-14T01:28:00.787-05:002011-12-14T01:28:00.787-05:00Gosh am a mess of tears.

I think I have been trying to escape. trying to not dwell on the death, be grateful, choose happiness, which I do Every Day. But the thing about the death of a daughter is, it is impossible not to dwell, because they are dead and we miss them. I agree with Bezus, our babies must have gone to the trees.Renelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490888250385942221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-6897658541956641512011-12-13T09:52:09.406-05:002011-12-13T09:52:09.406-05:00Beezus may want to hug trees, but I want to hug Be...Beezus may want to hug trees, but I want to hug Beezus.
