I still mother them….

One thing I’ve learned through all of this is that grief doesn’t have room for comparisons.

I don’t want Vincent to be forgotten.

And I don’t want Gabriella to be forgotten.

They were different people with different personalities, different dreams, and different stories. But they were both my children, and they both deserve to be remembered.

As I continue to write, you’ll hear me talk about them both. Sometimes one memory will lead to another. Sometimes one lesson will come from Vincent and another from Gabriella. That’s what happens when you love two people whose lives continue to shape your own.

I carry them both with me.

I always will.
