Just one of those days

When I had originally started this Blog I had every intention of making it more geared toward a loss and grieving sort of Blog, for some reason I have a horrible time sharing any of that with anyone even my Husband so you haven't seen much about Landon and his story on here.
But sometimes when I am having a rough day and I have my head stuck up my own ass, I forget that I am not the only one that lost my son,.... but my Husband did to! I think this one is true in any sort of grieving situation! My Aunt Shannon found this on the internet and I am not sure who wrote it.

Daddy

It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry" and "men are strong"
No tears can bring relief.

It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test
And field calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.

They always ask if she's all right
And what she's going through
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?"

He hears her crying in the night
And thinks his heart will break
And dries her tears and comforts her
But "stays strong" for her sake.

It must be very difficult
To start each day anew
And try to be so very brave ~
He lost his baby too. . .

  1. Thanks for following my blog...even though I haven't been a very good blogger lately. I hope you have found some peace and comfort. Blogging was my therapy for a very long time. Landon is a beautiful little Angel- I am truly sorry for your loss. MaKenzie is so adorable, I'm sure she is one your biggest inspirations to keep moving forward. Take care, hugs to you all,
