Hello my sweet baby,

I just want to tell you how much I miss you and  love you. It’s been seventeen months now without you, and sometimes it’s still so hard to believe this is reality. As time keeps passing, I fear that the hustle and bustle of life takes me away from you more every day. I hope that wherever you are, you know that my love for you is endless, and that I am so proud you are my daughter. No matter how busy I am, you are always in my heart and in my thoughts. Things have gotten a little better lately, but it’s never quite right because you aren’t here. I still find myself wondering what you’d be like now, at seventeen months old. I hate that we’ve lost all of it, and there won’t ever be a way to know what could have been. I have so much to say to you, but I simply feel like words aren’t adequate. I think you know anyway, sweet Lucy, because you’re part of me. We’re never truly apart. I’ll keep this note short and simple… I love you little darling, and I miss you with all of my heart.

Love Always and Forever,

Mommy
