The power of a broken heart... Finding strength and joy through loss
"My loved ones knew they were dying, and all three of them told me. When Heather said, "Mommy, I'm going to die this year," I heard, but I didn’t listen. When Holly jotted her note on the way toward her transplant surgery, when she told us she'd be fine with her sister, her grandmother, and God, I heard. But I didn't listen. And when Tim, her husband said, "I'm getting ready to blow my brains," I heard yet didn't believe it.
