\u201cJay, my little girl was only 8 years old. She was killed just weeks before school was out and before our summer holidays, as she was getting off of the school bus. I was there with my youngest son who wasn\u2019t of school age yet. As she got off of the bus, a note a young boy had given her dropped out of her hand. The wind carried it away. I guess she must have been afraid to lose it, so she chased the note Jay. But by the time she looked up, it was too late. The car was coming faster than she could run from it. She died in my arms, my baby was gone right there Jay. So, she\u2019s right when she said she couldn\u2019t run faster, and just couldn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
Since then, we haven\u2019t celebrated summer or gone to camp \u2018cause it was her favourite time of year. It\u2019s just too hard. My boy saw it too. Oh Jay, why did God have to take my baby?\u201d We cried together, and I apologized because this had never really happened to me before. All I wanted to do was hold this stranger, so that she could feel the love I had experienced, the love that was meant and intended for her from her daughter.<\/p>\n
\u201cSylvia, your daughter is now with your father and brother. They take such good care of her and she visits you daily, but you see, your daughter doesn\u2019t want you to stop living your life because she\u2019s not here. She wants you to continue to live, because she lives on within you. \u00a0Her memory is never far away, the love she gave still within your heart. You must celebrate life again; she wants this for you and your husband. \u201cAs she wiped her eyes, a smile came through as if to light the room. \u201cJay\u201d, she said, \u201cI\u2019m so happy, I can\u2019t wait to tell my husband all about what happened today. I don\u2019t know if I can ever celebrate my summers again, but I know that I\u2019m going to really think about it. I have a few months to decide. It\u2019s been so long since we have, maybe it\u2019s time we start\u201d. And with that, Sylvia left with a sense of relief, a knowing that her daughter is around her all the time, and that she really doesn\u2019t need any signs to know it. She just does!<\/p>\n

She looked so tired, as if she hadn\u2019t rested in months. \u00a0The circles under her eyes, obvious to see she has endured an emotional turmoil of sorts. Her hair framed her frown perfectly, her burden evident from afar. She didn\u2019t say much at first, as she listened to me explain what it is that we […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2892,"featured_media":5586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[277,407],"tags":[60,587,42,104,45,588],"class_list":["post-5583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-just-ask-jay","category-story-day-with-jay","tag-angel","tag-halloween","tag-mediumship-2","tag-reading","tag-spirit","tag-validations"],"yoast_head":"\n
