18. All the Right Things
A card came
in the mail.
It did not say “I’m sorry.”
It did not say “you can try again.”
It did not say “at least you have your daughter.”
It said,
“the loss is more painful than
anything.”
It said,
“I know.”
It said,
“I want to cry when my son
wishes he had a brother.”
It said,
“He does.”
It said all the right things.
And I am thankful.

I would have wanted to be one to say the right words...instead I share the joy of my arrival and loss of your departure.
You remain in my prayers.
