Leya, my precious girl..

Today is the 17th again, and even though I miss you so much every day, the 17th is particularly hard as it was the 17th when I lost you.

Another Christmas is fast approaching, my second one without you. Life isn't the same for me since you had to leave. Such a big part of it left with you and it can never be replaced. I was listening to a song today and it so reminded me of you, I could not help but cry.
The words were:

As the years say goodbye,
One by one on silent wings they fly,
What will last, what is true
That's a lesson I learned loving you.
If life is just a dream, I know within my heart,
Just being close to you was by far the sweetest part.

Leya, you will always be part of me. I am the person I am because of all you taught me. You are the most beautiful, gentle soul I have ever known. It is my greatest prayer that I will one day be with you again.

I find comfort in knowing you are with Charlie. I know you are such special friends and he will take care of you. I know you are both working hard to help Bud and Duke too. You are both so amazing.

I love you Leya. You will always be Mommy's most special girl.

All my Christmas dreams will be of you.

Love Mommy
