Dear Avie,
We went to the beach today. I wrote your name in the sand.
Even though you’re not here with us I can still feel you all around me. My thoughts of you have turned into daydreams, dreaming of the day that I will see you again. Your soft skin and those chunky cheeks pressing up against mine.
Time really does keep going even when it feels as though it has come to a complete halt.
I’m sitting outside and there’s a slight breeze, the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Moments like this really open up my soul. I’m looking at the sun sparkling off of the ocean. Birds are flying by, trees whispering in the wind. Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend that you are here with me, but when I open them the truth hurts.
-xoxo Mommy
