The quote:
With what a deep devotedness of woe
I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again
Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain,
And memory, like a drop that, night and day,
Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
~Thomas Moore

The Journaling:
It is (for me) nearly impossible to believe, that it has been 8 years since your death. Every year, we celebrate your birthday. This year, both your brother and your sister asked whose birthday we were celebrating and they seemed to understand, although they still dont understand death, they understand absence. Suddenly, Dean burst into unconsoleable crying and said: Im so SAD because my brother is gone and I MISS him.
Your grandma, myself and your little brother wiere all sitting there, tears streaming down our faces.
Sheesh. What a happy birthday...
