A Tribute to a Flower

If I never again hear the grieving cries of a mother, it will be too soon.  Now that I am a mother of two little flowers, this mother's loss of her Lily, was almost too much to bare. 

What can one possibly say to soothe her trembling, or ease the pain she feels when the lid closes?  Nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  Even thinking of what might make me feel just a tiny bit of joy in such agony, I come up with nothing. 

Just hold her.  Just support her legs from buckeling beneath her. 

She's just lost her flower.

  1. So beautiful and so true. Sometimes there's just nothing. So sorry again for everyone's loss.
