But loving anyone--even a child we don't get to keep, is also a gift that brings us closer to something wonderful, that makes us better, that builds up our soul. I am so much more than the person I was before I lost Eliza, but I'd never quite thought of it in those terms before reading this. Thank you for that. Remember Elias, who was so real and is so dearly loved and missed.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262780222421784520.post-58627556389295504262013-06-20T13:46:17.568-07:002013-06-20T13:46:17.568-07:00"I don't see anything." So, so heart..."I don't see anything." So, so heartbreaking. Your dear boy. I'm sorry that you have had such an exhausting fight and that it has often been lonely.<br /><br />But, as you rightly say, you know that Elias was real and so very deeply loved, we all do here. And I'm glad that you see that glimmer of light and that it shines in so many beautiful ways. Such wonderful photographs, that rainbow ring is amazing.

On the inside, I will never really let it die, as I'll always fight for her and her memory when I'm pushed in the wrong way. Time has certainly helped with that, but at two and a half years, I was still seething.<br />I love your writing and I love how you write of your love and grief for Elias. Thank you. xoHope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262780222421784520.post-35092081137403484402013-06-11T21:54:08.416-07:002013-06-11T21:54:08.416-07:00Ah, my comment didn't post!

It is exhausting fighting, even holding tight to fear that people will not remember. Honoring, remembering Elias with you today.
