She Is Always With Us
By Ken Martin, Julia’s Dad
Julia was the love of our life, an adorable baby we brought home from the hospital with great pride and care.
Her mother and I loved her with all our hearts and could not believe that one night she would just quit breathing.
Desperate CPR and calls to the hospital could not bring her back to us. And when she died, something within us died with her. An emptiness inside that never really heals.
It took a long time for me to realize, but there are no answers, no reasons, no explanations. Nothing that makes any sense.
So you just move on, as best you can. You owe that to yourself, to others, and to her.
And maybe someday you will see her sweet small face in the clouds if the light is right.
