Dear Maya,
I had a beautiful awakening this morning that I wanted to share with you. For so long I have been trying to find a way to be, without you here. To assuage the loss, manage the pain. I have been living in the absence of you, holding onto the memories and what we had together, knowing you are gone.
What I did not realize is that although you are not here, I still have you with me. I carry you inside me everywhere. It is so strange, my little one. Yes, when I go to our old spots, I have lovely memories of you, and I miss you. And when I go to new spots, I wish you were there with me. But now I have a third option, a new way of carrying you with me.
I realized that I can still take you with me, to the old spots and the new ones, and I can still experience them with you. You are still here, my sidekick, in my heart, by my side, always…
Love you,
Dad
Yes!
This warms my heart, Mathew
Love you,
Jody
