Beauty

To my lovely friend,

I am sorry to hear about it.
I am sorry that I was not there for you when you needed support.
I was shocked when you told me of the news, but it only sank in and hit me hard when I came home and thought about it.

You are one of the strongest people I know, one of the most faithful too. Your faith in God never wavered, even when your will was tested again and again.

I wanted so badly to tell you it is okay to be sad, but I didn't feel it was appropriate.
Instead, you kept reassuring me that you were alright.

It is always in you that I find strength and it is always through you and your faith that I am humbled, and reminded that I have so much more to learn.

I don't know how to comfort you or what words of comfort I can offer you.

But I believe that the quote from Helen Keller describes your child. Your child was the most beautiful thing that happened to you, and it still is. And like all beautiful things, it will forever live in the hearts of so many people.
