I'm so sorry that you are hurting. I know there are are certain things that will bring such powerful remembrances, and though they are special, they also painful. Right now I am reading The Little Prince with my high school students. It became even more special one year when I lost two of my little ones that year, and their sister, Ashley, became like the little prince's rose. I poured my heart out caring for her, and she became my special little rose. It's the first time teaching this book since we lost Ashley close to her seventeenth birthday. They are a really special group of kids, and when I tell them the story of Ashley, I hope they understand just how important it is to spend the time and devotion loving and caring for those we love.
Your memories cause you pain because of how deeply you have loved. I hope they also bring you comfort and smiles. |
