ReplyDeleteLove and comfort for you and your family on this day especially. I'm thinking about how Alex and Ian would have wanted to celebrate their eleventh [deleted old comment to fix that number, whoops my brain] birthday -- you must have so many more thoughts and feelings about that and everything else that might have been.

I know they live in your heart and sould but when they are not here to wrap your arms around that sometimes affords little comfort.
