Day 688
Today is River's birthday. We had a relaxing day. We spent it quietly.
Patty came over for River's birthday party. I made corned beef and cabbage.
The kids were going bonkers. It was storming very loudly outside. So when the kids disappeared to the toy room and Patty suggested we continue the party in the lovely silence, I agreed.
We sang to her. I made a wish for her. I blew out her candle for her.
River, oh how my arms ache for you. In all my life, I will never rid of the ache I feel to hold you close again and mother you.
I am thankful for you, my daughter. And until we see each other again, I am thinking of you always.
