Dear people who might see me in person. It’s ok. Look at me, lose your composure, show me you care. I know you want to protect me and not make my day harder. I love you for that. But I know you and I know you loved her and you love your family. You’ve experienced that fear of losing your child in your nightmares. I see you, I am you. Don’t be afraid to show me you understand because that’s all I need. This hurts and it feels so lonely. Don’t be afraid. We are mothers and fathers and this is our worst nightmare. We all get it.
