Such a beautiful tribute Wendy! I have had a heavy heart all day but no tears fell until now as I read your blog.
ReplyDeleteSo emotional today. This is beautiful Wendy.
ReplyDeleteWendy that was beautiful. I'm so sorry you know how Ella must feel right now, but your kind and understanding words would mean a lot to her, I'm sure. My heart has been breaking all day. My thoughts have been on Eilish and with her family. I have spent my day hugging my girl a little tighter and thanking God that she is still here with me. This is a sad and scary day. I am keeping Eilish's family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if my previous comment went through. I keep telling everyone in the DOC how I wish we could all be together on days like today. Just to sit.
ReplyDeleteLove.
Beautiful post btw..
Dear friend - that is by far the most beautiful post I have ever read. I am a sobbing mess right now. Thank you for being so amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy screen is blurry from reading this. I am trying to hide my tears from my 7 yr old T1 daughter behind me because I dont dare let her know what has happened. I dont think many of us will be sleeping tonight. <3
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful.

ReplyDeleteIt is hard to push the feelings of sadness away after seeing the picture of the sisters. That picture will stay with me as I pray for this family.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Just beautiful, Wendy! I think we've all had heavy hearts today, but reading words like yours helps us all shed a few tears so we can lighten the load and move on to be there to support and pray for healing and understanding for Eilish's family. Thank you for sharing this!
