I see you there,<\/p>\n
On the bed, <\/p>\n
Next to Grace.<\/p>\n
You are teaching her what we can’t help her to understand. <\/p>\n
I am grateful.<\/p>\n
I miss you every day, and though I love her,<\/p>\n
Grace makes it harder sometimes. <\/p>\n
She is not you. <\/p>\n
I still have a hole in my heart. <\/p>\n
I hope you know that I will never replace you. <\/p>\n
I just can’t live without someone like you. <\/p>\n
You are gone, but not lost to me. <\/p>\n
You visit me,<\/p>\n
you taught me. <\/p>\n
I protected you, but you guarded me. <\/p>\n
I love you. <\/p>\n
I will see you again. I promise, a promise that I swear I won’t break. <\/p>\n
We are sharing some of your things with her. I hope you don’t mind. <\/p>\n
We did save some things, like your mitten. You loved your mitten. <\/p>\n
Your countless demands I would not mind fulfilling now. <\/p>\n
I am sorry that I never picked you up or helped you down the stairs<\/p>\n
I should have, but my mind messed me up,<\/p>\n
taught me the wrong thing,<\/p>\n
to see germs in everything. I have always regretted that. <\/p>\n
You know that even though she looks nothing like you, <\/p>\n
I feel a kindred spirit in her. Thank you for everything. <\/p>\n
I thought I could never love again after you, but I can. <\/p>\n
Grace was a miracle brought by your angel wings. <\/p>\n
Sometimes I hear footsteps and I turn and think it is you<\/p>\n
It is only Grace, but then, <\/p>\n
Grace is important and loved in this house. I love her. <\/p>\n
I have oceans of love because of you. <\/p>\n
I will forever miss your little paws, but I will live. <\/p>\n
You are how I learned to Lhasa love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
