Before My 19-Year-Old Son Died, He Donated His Heart to an 18-Year-Old Girl—Then Her Mother Handed Me a Letter: “Mom, There’s Something You Need to Know About Her”
“Caleb should be here.”
“Yes.”
No pretending he was spiritually walking her down the aisle through his heart.
No:
He is here inside you.
I simply said:
“Yes.”
Sometimes agreeing with absence is more loving than covering it with metaphor.
