no words

There have been no words on this blog for a while. But today I am filled with grief and sadness for one of our own - one of our blogging community has experienced an unimaginable loss.  The loss of a child.  It is something that I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy, it is something that none of us should have to experience.   So this is my tribute - my letter to the wonderful moms over at Caring for Caemon.

Ladies-

We have never met in person, we have only known each other through the ethos of the computer, but today my heart breaks for you and the incredible loss of your beautiful son.  I have followed your story for years, shared your story through the words on your blog.  I dreamed with you when Caemon was only a vivid hope in your mind, cheered you on during your pregnancy and as your prepared for your birth and I have loved reading your stories as you navigate your parenthood journey.

Today I am grieving with you and for you.  Caemon was an incredible force, so full of life and light.  He has impacted the lives of so many of us. Today, I will continue to stand with you and by you as move through your grief.  You have an unimaginable road ahead of you, and as you move through these dark days all of us in the ethos will be standing by you.  Supporting you and dreaming with you of a new future. You are not alone.

From my family to yours-

I wish there was more I could say, wish there was more I could do.  And really, I wish I could just take away their pain.  Til then, I will continue to hold them in my heart and hope that they find solace where they can.
