My Sweet Baby

You are my little boy

My forever child

I miss you with every breath I take

Every tear that falls is for you

My heart beats out the rhythm of grief

Every day

Every hour

Every second of every minute

Everything I Touch is Ruined

Kailey's tree is dying. I feel like Charlie Brown when he said, "I killed it!! Oh, everything I touch is ruined," or some similar comment he makes when he thinks he's killed the little Christmas tree.

I was warned not to plant a tree for Kailey by an acquaintance that has lost a daughter. She said "How will you feel if it dies", and I thought, oh, I'll be okay with it; it's so insignificant compared to my losses.

Yet, looking out and seeing the tree dying, just saddens me so. I feel like I can't do anything right. I know it's just where I'm at right now......... everything I touch doesn't really die. It just feels that way today.
