Letter to Asher 072009 (Of Pain and Healing)

To my little darling,

I know you completely understand why it's only now that I'm continuing this letter series. I'm sure you've witnessed and felt Mommy's misery the entire week last week. Believe me, I tried to stay positive and really made an effort to shrug off the pain. But as they say, you can't heal a huge wound overnight. But despite of this, I'd like to thank you for helping me heal. You can not say your piece yet to give me a sound advice but just the mere sight of a happy and innocent you is already a huge comfort in itself. Thank you for that my dear. It is because of you (and Daddy) that I'm striving hard to think positively because I don't want you to feel the pain. Anyway, I'm back...stronger.

Xoxo,
Mommy
