What can you say?
***
Mom,
I was trying to think if there was anything I could do to make this day easier for you. I know that’s not really possible. People say that time helps lessen the pain in our hearts, as if this was some unilateral rule from which every heartbroken person benefits, but this seems to me to fail consider how much love a heart can hold. I know that your heart has always, and will always, hold so much love for Kerrin. As hers does for you. As mine does for you.
But I thought I could help you to smile at least once today, though, and for some of those tears to maybe be happy tears. So I’ve enclosed “The Bird.” It’s a story to make a person—and especially a person we love—feel something good no matter what.
I love you so much. We all do.
Colin
