Mom I miss dad

The kids still very much miss Danny. Their days are up and down as you would expect out of someone dealing with grief. Reality is setting in for them that their dad is gone and it's a permanent thing. Typically, Aidan is the vocal one when it comes to expressing the void they feel. Recently, Avery is beginning to put voice to how he is feeling. The other night he crawled up in bed next to me  and sweet as could be said, "Mom? I miss daddy." Be still my heart. The only thing this mom could do was hug him tight and acknowledge how he felt.
