Remember.
Light days spent playing,
Listening to adults talk.
Running and hiding and screaming and
Sometimes crying.
Remember.
Chased with a wooden spoon.
Going without dinner.
Remember.
Scrabble by lamplight.
Reading by the window.
Buttered bagels. Coconut cake.
Hugs hello and goodbye.
Remember her.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
