Don't cry for me

Don't cry for me, just cry with me.
The tears I cry have been so healing.

I've shared Lynette's "Letter to Olive" Video
with my Reflexology patients,
when they ask me how I am doing.
They all respond with tears
and are so surprised at how much she
fought to stay with her parents.
Somehow this video says it all.

Melody said it better than I could have
in her comment below my last post:

"I'm so sorry, Mom.
I woke up crying for Olive too.
For my little niece that I'll never know.
That Aubrey will never get to know, or play with,
like I had imagined when I learned
we were both pregnant with little girls.
I know it's good for us to be home now,
but it was so much better to be together,
and cry together.
I'm sending my love."

and Tim wrote:
"Every time a new person asks me how I'm doing
I pause for a long time before answering...
as if to decide not to cry
and instead to speak.

I'm writing a song for Olive."

Tim, I am looking forward to that song.
