Don't Ask

Please Don't Ask ~~~~~~~
 
Please don't ask us if were over it yet
We will never be over it, apart of us died with her!!

Please don't tell us she's in a better place
Katie's not here with us, in our home!!

Please don't ask if we feel better
Bereavement isn't a conditon that clears up!!

Please don't tell us you know how we feel,
Unless you've lost your child, you don't have a clue!!

Please don't tell us at least we had her for nineteen and a half years, were grateful we did
At what age would you choose to lose your child??

Please don't tell us, at least we have other children - Thank God we do
Which one of your children would you not miss and grieve for??


Please do say:

Your sorry

Say you remember her, share your memories with us

Let us talk about our beautiful Katie

Mention her name, often

Remember her Birthday, Holiday's and Angel Date

And ~~~~~~~

Please let us cry!!!!

Thank you,
Katie's Mom
