by Helen Nevarez / Always and Forever

I still remember the night you said goodbye. My sweet Muisette. I still blame myself. Had I not been outside with my friends, perhaps you may not have met your end with the car that ran over you. And even though I had you for a small amount time and years have come and gone you always seem to creep into my mind. And yes, I shed a tear or two when I remember you but always with a smile. I was young then and knew nothing about life but now that I’m older and wiser and remember the look of pain in your eyes I feel I could have done more for you. You have two wonder siblings that I know you would have loved. I got them many years after you died and years later they are with me. They’re getting up in age and I don’t know how long I will have them for. So, when they die please take care of them the way I wish I would have cared for you.

 

I will always miss you my sweet Muisette,
