Sometimes, you think this is all a bad dream. You'll wake up and everything will be normal.
Even if it has been weeks or a couple months, it is a dream. It is a nightmare and you are just not waking up yet.
Then, you see it. You see the headstone. It is now in place. It is beautiful yet heartbreaking. It is amazing yet full of sadness.
It means it is real. It is bittersweet.
It is a day that you have dreaded because, it was just a dream.
You see it.
You see how beautiful it is and then, you see the dash. You see the dates.
As much as you do not want to believe it, it is real.
It is a nightmare and you are awake.
It is something you wanted to hurry up and get and something you hoped you'd never see.
It is set in stone. It is real. It is sad. It is beautiful. It is heartbreaking. It is bittersweet and yet, it is your life. It happened. Your child is in heaven and as much as you want to wake up from this nightmare, that stone means you can't.
Proverbs 21:2 "The lord weighs the heart."
