For Emily, From Aunt Theresa

Emily,

If lighting this candle would stop my tears,

I would light a hundred, and dry my eyes...

If lighting this candle would ease my sorrow,

I would light a thousand, and smile again...

If lighting this candle would bring you back,

I'd light a million, and await your return...

But lighting a candle won't stop the tears, Won't ease my sorrow, and won't bring you back ...

So... I won't light a million, a thousand, or even a hundred,

I will light just one candle.

One candle for one who was unique and special in my life...

One candle because I loved you like no other...

One candle because there will never be another you...

One candle for the one who meant so much to me.

"I Love You and Miss You, Emily"

Aunt Theresa

"I Never"

I never thought I could go on living when you died, but I did.

I never thought I would survive after burying you, but I did. I never thought I'd get through those first days, weeks, and months, but I did.

I never thought I'd be able to endure the first anniversary of your death, but I did.

I never thought I'd let myself love my new grandchild, but I have.

I never thought tomorrow would be different, but it was.

I never though I'd stop crying for a day, but I have.

I never thought I'd sing again, but I have.

I never thought the pain would "soften" but it has.

I never thought I'd care if the sun shone again, but Ido.

I never thought I'd ever entertain again, but I have.

I never thought I'd be able to control my grief, but I can.

I never thought I could function without medication again, but I can.

I never thought I'd smile again, but I do.

I never thought I'd laugh out loud again, but I do.

I never thought I'd look forward to tomorrow, but I do.

I never thought I'd reconcile your death, but I have.

I never thought I'd be able to create that "new normal" ,but I have.

I never thought I'd want to go on living after you died, but I do.

Always missing you, always loving you, and thinking of you daily with a smile on my face and tears on my heart.
