Today concludes week 1 of my daughter's absence, and I cannot wrap my mind around the ordeal. Numbed, confused, worried...............I am truly at a loss.
Luckily, my focus has improved, but only because I have began making strict lists to focus myself. I am sleeping a little better, but not too much. Whit is finally vocalizing her own emotions, her nightmares, and as she and I begin to accept the current reality, I wonder what might happen when Kaitlyn returns to the scene. I know she will not be gone forever; at least, I hope not least.
Kaitlyn has always been so special..........so unique. She has a strong intellect and perspective. These have always been intriguing to me, so I guess she will always hold a very special place in my heart. I guess that's without saying, considering she's my daughter.
I miss her so much.................not the person she has been in the last few months, but the broody and wonderful young woman she was a year ago before her self-destructive behaviors plunged us into this dark and unforgiving world. I long for her.
