Keeper of the Memories

This occurred to me almost immediately after Lynda passed away.  There were so many things about Lynda that I didn't want to die with me.  I am the keeper of the memories.

Her Daddy was already waiting on Lynda in heaven.  Her brothers Kevin and Kristopher are too young to know anything about her before her stroke.  Kristopher wasn't even born.

Since I've never experienced the loss of a child
(and pray I never do again) I hadn't given thought to this phenomenon.  Yes, I knew that we mothers instinctively protected our children.

It only stands to reason that when all we have left after our child dies are memories, we would instinctively protect those memories with the same tenacity we protected our child.



I thank you for being a part of this grieving mother's attempt to protect Lynda's memories through this blog and later a book about her life.
