TWILLY's blog: "Others speak for me so much better"

I lost a daughter once

Could not cry for weeks

Then cried for years

In the middle of the night

Remembering the night I knew she was dying

And the Docs didn't believe me

I was angry about that fact

Until I realized

It would have made no difference if they had

She would die and I knew it

Nothing would change that

Your calamity is very different

No warning

Just shock

Not just HER gone

But a huge part of YOU as well

I can't explain it poetically

I can only be blunt of course

Your road is harder than mine was

So I can only empathize by extrapolation

And tell you that I am here
