In under 12 hours, it would be exactly 2 years since Taylor left us. We miss her ever so much. I still look enviously at couples with young children or babies. Just yesterday, I saw a couple with a newborn just at the lift lobby of a shopping mall. I was thinking how Taylor never got out of the hospital's NICU. Not sure if she cared that she missed all the shopping, but I just wished we could spend one day as a normal family.
Recently, I picked up Stephen Curtis Chapman's "Beauty Will Rise," an album he wrote after/about the death of his daughter. He took the words right out of my brains. Thank God for such talented people who could put down emotions so eloquently on a medium. This guy should get a PhD for what he did. This is no cheese-pop Christian pop music. He talked about feeling tired, weak, angry... and the real hope of meeting his daughter again.
Taylor's Chinese name "天美" means "Beautiful Day" (or "Heaven's Beauty" if you are really creative) The album's name and title track just put a smile on my face. :) Like him, I can't wait to meet my daughter.
So until we meet again Taylor, I love you.
