My gain is her loss.
I hear “Mom.”
She hears silence.
I feel hugs.
She just has the memory of his arms around her.
I see smiles and eyes that light up with excitement.
She has to close her eyes to see his face.
I hear giggles and laughs.
She only hears the echos of them.
I get to watch him grow up.
She just gets to dream about it.
Because
my gain
is her loss.
Amy, you have me in tears. Those words are so powerful, and yet, sad. Your gain is her loss. As a mom, I can’t imagine what that would feel like. But then again, knowing your angel is in Canada enjoying a bright future with loving parents would give any mom joy. You moved my heart today 🙂
❤️ Thanks so much for reading, Karen.
