for a stranger, for a friend.

I don't know you, nor will we ever meet - but I know your story, and I am so encased in grieving for you that I felt the need to share it.. even if you never see this. I don't know how you feel, nor can I even begin to imagine the emptiness that is surely taking over you entirely... a feeling that I assume might never fully go away. I want so badly, to come and take the pain away from you - to help you grieve, and let you heal. It's such a curious feeling to have for a complete stranger - but nonetheless, it seems to be my only desire at this moment. I wish for you the power to heal your wounds, the strength to grow and find peace with your misfortune. I hope for you the ability to move from this, with an unbreakable bond - but with the courage to let new life come into your world once more. I don't know how it feels, to create something and have it be taken away before it is ever really yours - but all my sympathy, thoughts, and tears go to you at this time in your life. To my dearest friend - the support, courage, strength and love you provided to this stranger will never be forgotten. You will forever hold a bond with her, and even through tragedy, true kinship cannot be mistaken. I am humbly in awe of you, and admire your ability to stay strong for that young lady. I know these words probably hold no baring now, while the pain is at it's peak - but I hope that one day you can read this, and know the truth of my words. I love you.
