for irish katie who loved the world

and

left way too early

and

for her daughter rachel

who inspired 

the happy nods of her mother’s head

and

who carries on

under the beautiful light

of her mother’s smile.

—
“death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

-from an irish headstone

—

– and for all of those who have loved and lost someone dear to them
