It really is the hardest part that Zoey asks when Daniel will wake up. He is sleeping now, but he won't wake up again.
I wish I could make is easier for her, as young as she is, I just don't think she'll understand until she's older.
I want so badly to tell her I'm sorry, I try not to cry in front of the children, but sometimes when they're asleep I can't help but fall into tears.
It hurts like nothing else does, loving them as much as I do, knowing not all of them will grow old enough to leave me.
I feel like such a fool, being coddled by my own proxies, as if I'm just a child. I don't know what I would do without them, I don't know if I am that strong anymore.
