Well, this will be a short post. I just found that I had to write something today. I spent a few moments with my son this morning. He likes to play Sims 3. He was creating a new family. This family is actually ours. The only difference - it has Ashlyn. He included her when he created his new game. We spent a few minutes trying to think of how she would look and what things would have been her favourites. It was nice but sad too.
We will never know who she really would have been. We can only guess. It is amazing how things that seem so insignificant are actually very important. I will never know what her favourite colour, animal, bug, food, or article of clothing would have been. I won't know if she would have liked the rain. She never saw it. She never saw a rainbow or a butterfly. She never made a snowman or a snow angel. I never even heard her giggle. She never called me Mommy or said I love you.
So many possibilities lost, just because of a stroke that no one saw coming.
