I read this book more for nostalgia than anything else. I still love it just as much as I did when I was kid. That pesky little mouse. I remember reading this all the time, every chance I got, when I was kid.

This was a good book. I enjoyed it, but I personally felt like I was rereading some of the other poetry books I've read before. I still very much enjoyed it and believe in the message behind it though.

This was cute! I was supposed to read it with my nephews today, but I didn't end watching them. So, I read it myself. Some of these were pretty funny. 

"How did the pirate show his love for his Valentine? He played her the guit-arrrrr."

"Why did the grandparents put wheels on their rocking chairs on Valentine’s Day? They wanted to rock and roll."

"Why did the toy dinosaur give his girlfriend an explosive gift on Valentine’s Day? Because he wanted to show her, she was dino-mite."

The Weight Of What's Gone: Words & Thoughts From A Grieving Heart by Jenna Lowthert

challenging emotional inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This book was so emotional for me. I lost my mom when I was only 15 and there is still so much grief I face even now 9 years later. I miss her everyday. There are so many things that she didn't get to see or do. I think knowing all that is the worst part of grief. It's the knowing that they would be there faster than anyone, but they aren't there.

"the weight of what’s gone is not only in the sadness. sometimes it’s in the realization that some things will never be the same again."

"how unfair it is, that i have to live the rest of my life, without you."

"she wasn’t just my mother. she was so much more than that. she was the true embodiment of love. she was the best friend who stood by my side no matter what. she’s the one who loved me without condition and i wouldn’t be half the person i am today if it weren’t for her and all she has shown me."

"you were the best of the best. you were the heart of our family. you were the rock that we stood on. you were the glue that held it all together. and nothing has been the same without you."
