one day at a time...

I have been trying to write ... even to think about what to write about how I feel.  Turns out I am not able to put words to it, yet.

I woke to this story on StoryCorps.  It breaks my heart, but it is one of the issues that makes me so sad for my nieces and nephews.  Of course, we are all here for them ... and will happily and lovingly fill this role in their lives.  But it just seems so unfair that my brother and sister will not know their grandchildren, will not talk their children through happy and challenging times, will not be able to hold their children close in times of trouble.

That's as close as I get to how I feel right now.
