Oh T, who would have thought I would have cried so much over the loss of somebody. I said years ago I would never allow myself to get close enough to a person that their leaving would hurt me. Whelp here I am still in excruciating pain over the loss of you. You taught me that the memories and time together makes all the the pain worth it. As was usually the case, you were right. You made a huge impact on my life. You helped me recognize and celebrate the successes and good times. You were also always there to comfort me when things were the worst. You made me feel cared about, stron and worthy. No matter what I said you always made me feel safe and comfortable. You taught me trust my instincts and that I am a good mom.

I still can't believe you are gone. I do charish the memories. The memories are worth the pain.
