I'm familiar with three of these angels, it serves to remind me how blessed 
we are to still have our Trier. My thoughts and prayers go out to those 
parents who are missing their angel this week. Here is one of my favorite 
poems.

Grief by  Carol Jordan


Grief is a jagged rock
that you bury deep in your pocket.
Its sharp edges force you
to take it out and examine it from
time to time,
even when you don't want to.

And when it is too heavy to carry
you must ask a friend to hold it
so you can rest.

As time passes
it is a little easier to take the rock
out of your pocket.
It doesn't seem to weigh as much.
Now you show it to a
circle of friends and, occasionally,
even a stranger.

One day you pull out the rock
and, surprisingly, it doesn't even
hurt.
For the edges are no longer jagged
but smoothed by time, touch,
and tears.
