I'm here to express my love and sadness about the loss of Karma. He was a very loved boy, someone who will always hold such a special part of your heart. As Ashley got older, I read so much trying to make sure I kept her healthy, but I also tried to do something to try to prepare myself for her loss. I was successful for the most part in keeping her healthy, but I was unable to prepare myself at all for losing her. Karma was so young, and that hurts so much. I don't know if quotes or poetry help you, but all I can do is listen and let you know how much I care.

I hope these quotes help you in small way. They express how I feel about the loved ones in my life.

"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?" -Kahlil Gibran

“The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.” -Hilary Stanton Zunin

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." -Helen Keller

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." -Anonymous

“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." -Albert Einstein

I have a plaque in my classroom that I bought thirty years ago. It reminds me of a very special girl that I taught my first four years of teaching. She was born with a heart problem that was corrected at birth, but she died suddenly at the age of thirteen. The author of this well known poem has been debated, so I have left it out.

The tide recedes, but leaves behind
Bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down but gentle warmth
Still lingers on the land.
The music stops and yet it lingers on
In sweet refrain.
For every joy that passes
Something beautiful remains.

I won't ever forget Karma or your Zoey, and I will always be a friendly ear if you need my support.
