Some special words from Libby’s loving daughter, Morgan, to her mom;
“How lucky am I to have had something so real that it shattered me to lose it. No one tells you that the deeper the love the more violent the grief is. I didn't just lose a person. I lost a piece of myself. a whole world that only existed because you were in it. You were home, you were safe, you were the arms I didn't know I’d always run to until they weren't there. Now everything feels cold, quiet, and lonely. People say I should feel grateful to have had love like that but gratitude doesn't stich the hole in my chest, it doesn't silence the screaming in my body when I remember you're gone, and I have to live the rest of my life without you. the sentence I never knew I’d have to survive. I would have carried you through every era of me, I would have loved you through every version of who I became, but you were stolen from the story before it even reached the middle. So yes, I was lucky. so lucky but God am I also ruined.”
