I thought that nothing could be worse than hearing you cry.
I know better now.
I thought that when you were hurt and I couldn't help was the
worst thing in the world.
I know better now.
When my heart ached because I missed you but you were only a phone
call away.  The excitment of the visit, the time couldn't go fast
enough. When I could hug you and hold you, was always worth the wait.
Child birth, Terrible Two's and moving away was the worst pain I'd ever
felt.
I know better now.
The Sun isn't quite as shiny.  The nights are dark as can be.
And in my heart, as broken as it is,
I will hold those memories forever and cherish our time.

I hope that there is some way to share the pain so you don't bear
it alone. If I can feel, you can let a little bit go.  My heart is
sad for you.

I met Jaden when we worked together in P&G before he left for the big city.  I had no idea he was Lisa's son.
