TELLING IT OVER AGAIN.
In each re-telling
there comes a little bit of healing,
a little more acceptance
of the reality of our loss.
In each re-telling
there comes another acknowledgement,
of the uniqueness of the personhood
of our precious missing child.
In each re-telling
there comes a little less uncertainty,
a little more internal peace
of the finality of their death.
In each re-telling
there comes a greater recognition,
an important affirmation
of the memories we hold dear.
In each re-telling
we seek a patient audience,
who'll graciously accept our need
to tell them one more time.
