Being your mother bought me the most profound love and pride and the greatest of joys. It also caused the deepest of sorrows. The sadness of losing you has not diminished over the years, I have simply managed to somehow exist in a world without you. How I would have love to watch you grow into a woman, to come to know you as an adult and to have seen you become the person you were meant to be. I think of you and miss you every day of my life. Forever my beautiful daughter
