loss of loved ones

No matter h0w happy children can make you, there will always be something missing from your life. What that something is will be different with each person. 

For me, I am missing more than one thing. In fact, I am missing people. Through all of the joy of watching Tony grow-up and Enzo enter our world, there is still pain and grief that can be unbearable at times. 

I will never forget Easter Sunday in 2012. We had the family at our house because Tony was barely two weeks old. When my parents and in-laws arrived, the two grandmothers shared a moment on the back patio.
