My Christmas sweater...

I think that I need a Christmas sweater that just says...


 "Fragile. Handle with care."


In going through a box of office supplies today, I came across a gift tag from years ago, in Michael's writing.

"Merry Christmas Mom. Love, Michael."

So simple.

So blind-sided me with pain.

Life feels like a mine-field sometimes. I never know when I'll trip over something that will blow a fresh hole in my heart.
