Well Donna has just left and I already miss her. There are a few saying in this book I purchased that make me think of Donna and all of our friends and family who have been there for us.

"I am here. Let's heal together." ~Unknown

"I did not come to comfort you; only God and time can do that; but I did come to say how deeply and tenderly I feel for you in your sorrow." ~Unknown

"Thank you for letting me talk
and letting me cry.
Thank you for cheerful hello's
and tearful goodbye's.
Thank you for asking me questions
and saying his name.
Thank you for not understanding
but sharing my pain." ~Jacqueline M. Savageau

"Needed: A strong, deep person wise enough to allow me to grieve in the depth of who I am,
and strong enough to hear my pain without turning away.
I need someone who believes that the sun will rise again, but who does not fear my darkness. Someone who can point out rocks in my way without making me a child by carrying me.
Someone who can stand in thunder and watch the lightning, and believe in a rainbow."
~Fr. Joe Mahoney

I think of all my friends and family who have reached out to us and let us know they care, when I read these. Thank you for coming to us and not being afraid. Thank you for praying for us because you know we are in pain. Thank you for letting us see there are good things in this world and that Beckett touched so many, in so many different ways!

I looked through Beckett's memory box this morning. It makes me sad to think that all our memories are contained in such a little box. His stay was much to brief. If I could pour all our sadness, love, tears, and happy memories in a box it would be much to big to fit in our house. "There are many tears in the heart that never reach the eyes."~Unknown
