Quiet

Deep quiet actually. I do like like the quiet in our house. Its just so quiet. The kind of quiet that makes the room feel pressurized. Because there is no voice to great the tension. I feel so quiet that I can't hear anything else. I am so sad this morning and still feel lost. when I woke up this morning Kezia was already up. I instantly listened for little foot steps running across the kitchen. Quiet.

  1. I think everyone feels lost with you Mike. Completely different, I know, as no one can claim to know just how you feel. But we feel lost because we want to take it away for you, want to help, want to make it better. I guess all the thousands of comments I have seen over the past days are intended to try.... Still feel powerless to help. Just know that we feel a tiny measure of your pain. You and Kezia shared her with us and we all fell in love with her and connected with you both, so we feel your loss in a personal way. And cry too, every day. Its good, I guess, this powerless feeling that everyone has though. It makes us want to find a way, do something. People are emailing news places, celebrities, politicians, everyone they know....anything to try to make this grow and make this change. For you. For Kezia. Really....for Saoirse.

    We cry with you. We support you. Though I know you can't feel or hear it. The 'quiet' is in the way right now. We're here just the same....

  2. MIKE!!!! I am Audra Boudreau. I am the person who posted the thing on the FB page this morning about cell phone donations. I found out how. When you are able, please email me....I will do everything I can to help set this up, but there will be a bit that you will have to do for it I think. My brother died from this and it is so unacceptable to me that, in the 42 years since, we haven't changed the outcome. Today, I finally feel like change is actually possible. And that I can do something for Saoirse (and you both), so that real change can come. Finally.
