I'll never quit telling the story of your love... Your love has always been our lives' foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world. Psalm 89.2

the heaviest of goodbyes, without even a hello. Day 1.

The news of you left before it came. The possibility became reality before history could be written. We've spoken to you, well we've spoken, more so about you than to you. We awaited you and still do. How long we dreamed of holding you and now we wait to do so. To call you by name, to see your face, and show you that life is here waiting for you.

In awe of you, beloved.

Clothes for your body. Home for your heart. The joy of friends and family to greet you. The skills to teach you. The aunts and uncles to guide you. To be taught and retaught all the days of your life. The expectation of you has become reality and a dream again.

the heaviest of goodbyes started with I'll see you soon. Day 2

This time farewell came too soon, came to small, and came before I knew. Lighter than air. Heavier than love. All this before I knew your name. Nameless with no less than a greater purpose. A purpose to fill our hearts with joy and wonder. No longer do we wait for you, but we do miss you.

In awe of you, beloved.

No hair to your head. No digits to your hand. A heartbeat away from life as we know it. A misfit to some, barely a crumb to others, and yet you held our hearts in your shapeless form. Day one of you is still unknown. Day two and three are suspects. Day five they knew you and soon I would too.

the heaviest of goodbyes started with I love you. Day three.

A potential for greatness.
A common misfortunate.
A dream come true and a forever friend.

Day four. Unlike the other deaths, your existence was known after death. Her pain is my pain. Her loss is our loss. We all awaited you, prayed for you, and didn't expect you. Although life for merely five days is all we had. Know that I love you and I can't wait to meet you.

In awe of you, beloved. Day Five.

Greeting a stranger is odd, but you are family. Mourning a life is normal, but life without you isn't. Nameless, faceless, colorless, and so meaningful. It's been a journey and we will continue and remember you. We choose to remember and one day we will meet face to face. By the way,

Hello, Goodbye, see you soon, and I love you.
