It has been 3 lonely months without you Ayla. Who would have thought the smallest of things would carry the biggest of memories.
-Nobody eats the ends of the bread or leftover pizza crusts.
-No big drools over fortune cookies.
-Squirrels so casual around the bird feeders, never looking
for the great hunter.
-Cold feet without my furry magnet on them.
-Flashes of thinking I had to get home to feed you.
-Saturdays without my shadow.
-Walking into the the silence.

I want time to soften the blow of life without you. So many special memories that make me laugh and cry. But the pain has not subsided. You are still so loved and longed for by me and Pa. I know we will be together someday my little pumpkin head.

 

With so much love,
Rose and Chris
