Although no two experiences are the same, I can say I that I too experienced a similar loss and I understand the depth of your sorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers
I am here when you need me
All that aside, what impresses me the most about you is the person of character and integrity you have become. I am very proud to be your parent.
As you begin the next year of your journey, take time not just to celebrate who you are, but who you have been along the way... and who you hope to become.
