Sorry it has taken so long to write this, but it has been hard these months, wanting to tell you things. Call you, even sitting there, I expect you to be there in your chair. I miss you every minute of every day. There's things I want to ask you, but can't. But to know your no longer in pain makes it a little easier. Someday I will see you and dad again, and finally get to see my sister. I love you and dad very much, and mIss both of you so much. Fluffy has been a total blessing to have here, she is so smart, and such a good girl. She really loves me.
