In chatting with a neighbor yesterday about a mutual friend undergoing chemo and dealing with hair loss she told me about an incident that happened with her daughter (younger than Christi) when the two girls were playing together at her home in the summer before Christi died. I'd never heard it before and it made me chuckle. She said the girls were playing and her daughter said "Christi! Your hair! It's gone!" She said Christi laughed and said "It's been gone for quite a while; you just noticed?!" Too funny! I LOVE when I study some new little "nugget" about Christi that I never knew before. I understand one day those will all be gone except I truly do think of them like little kisses from Christi. Like yesterday going through Shayla's old shirts and coming along some that Christi wore too. I couldn't part with them. I just couldn't do it. (PHOTO: Summer 2006 Christi 9)
I'm going to share a poem under that sums up so much for us. I hope you have a wonderful new year!
The Mention of Her Name
(Author Unknown)
The mention of my Child's name
May bring tears to my eyes
But it never fails to bring
Music to my ears.
If you are really my friend
Let me hear the beautiful music of her name.
It soothes my broken heart
And sings to my soul.
