Today Kyle's cousinscame over: Elizabeth
and Siena. Elizabeth's
cousin Elena came too
and Si's friend Robin.
And we watched the
video of the memorial
and we watched the
slide show. Betsy and
Si and I sat huddled
holding hands, crying.
And now a while later
I sit playing James
Taylor and looking
into these eyes
and asking "Why?"

Cyn - thanks so much for being mom away from home to my girls.
I know that losing kyle has brought all of us together to share our grief and to reconnect with our love for each other. It's so easy to get too busy and just, "float on" with our lives. If there can be anything positive about the loss of this beautiful boy, it is that we as a family seem to have drawn together based on our love of him.
that is life affirming, itself - here and now

Oh, Auntie, he is so beautiful, the depth of his soul shining through his handsome eyes. What a gift.
To lose that gift so swiftly, so heartlessly, so unjustly - and no answer to "why" - the cruelest of all unanswered questions.
What remains is the question "How". How to keep on and how to hold on. The answer may be in the love - something Kyle understood deeply; if we understand him well - the love that remains is the love everyone felt for him and for you - and something he knew and valued.
Kyle is with you so intangibly and yet so completely in all the love. Why you have been forced to make that exchange is beyond comprehension and worthy of your every tear.
