Life Goes On

Life goes on

It really does

It is horrible to say but life does go on

It doesn’t mean that you don’t care

It doesn’t mean that you don’t want to cry everyday

It doesn’t mean that you wont cry everyday

But life still goes on

It is hard to accept it

It is hard to be happy again

It is hard to smile

It is hard to be truly happy

I don’t actually know if you will ever be happy “like you used to be”

You lived in a bubble

A naive bubble that everyone lives in

One that we all love

A bubble that only pops if you lose a child

But even if you are never that naively happy again

You can still be happy

You can still smile. laugh and have fun

As life does go on

But and this is a big BUT

Just because we smile, and laugh and have fun

And have learnt to be happy again

Does not mean that we have forgotten

It does not mean we don’t want to hear her name

It does not mean we don’t want you to talk about her

Ask about her

It does not mean that we want you to stop taking flowers to her

It does not mean that she didn’t exist

It does not mean that she just becomes a memory

A “thing” that we don’t talk about

The elephant in the room

We laugh, we smile and we have fun

We glow, our hearts swell, and our lives are complete when you talk about her

So life carries on

But it never changes

We have two children

One here with us every day

One in heaven every day, but still here with us in our hearts

You ask about one every time you see us,

And so you should he is a gorgeous bundle

And we love you ask

We would love it even more if you ask about both

Ask how we are, talk about her, mention her name

Because life does go on

So never forget we have two children

Not just one!
