Dear Avie,
I miss taking a bath with you.
Our bubble bath time was the very best.
The tub is no longer filled with bubbles.
When I sit in our tub it’s empty and quiet.
The first time I took a bath without you I cried.
It felt so empty.
I felt so alone.
I couldn’t even pretend that you were in there with me, although I tried.
Your presence is truly missed.
I miss you more than I could ever explain.
Pushing aside all of the pain.
Watering my pillow with these tears.
I am starting to sink into the mire.
Trying hard not to let the deep swallow me.
It’s all starting to overflow.
The deep is trying to cover what’s left above me.
I am sinking into deep waters.
It’s beginning to cover me.
My cries become muffled.
These eyes begin to fail me.
Sorrow is stirred into the numbness of my silence.
Xoxo- Mommy
