mdlbearThis would have been Ame's 27th birthday.
I'm mostly over the grieving now, more than a quarter-century after our middle daughter was stillborn. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that our other daughters have both moved out, so that we see them only every month or two. In a sense, Ame's a little closer than that now. It's ok.
I'm okay. It's actually been three years since I last posted, and that was a short one, a couple of days late. We don't have much to talk about these days.
Good night, Ame. I love you.
Good night, Daddy. I love you too.

Unless she doesn't. Last year she had pneumonia, a cardiac arrest, and leukemia, this year they tried to kill off a major organ (bone marrow) with chemo and radiation, and replaced it with stem cells from her brother. I'm kinda worried.
