Dear Lucy,

I wish you were here. I wish we were together. I wish you were dressed in a cozy little costume, lighting up this dark and dreary day. I wish you were squirming around in your Daddy’s arms as we take you out visiting. I wish to hear your laughter, to see your eyes shining so bright. I wish these were really memories we’re making, instead of shattered dreams. I wish my heart weren’t broken, I wish that it were whole. I wish for you, my darling, I wish it all the time.

I hope no matter where you are that you’re a happy soul. I hope you realize I’d know you anywhere. I hope you know you’re part of me, no matter where I go. I hope someday that missing you won’t hurt so very much. Mostly, I hope you know how much you’re loved. I hope you feel my heart.

I miss you so much. I love you even more.

Happy Halloween, my sweet little dragonfly.

Love Always and Forever,

Mommy
