Ok - so she has only been gone a few days. She is with her Daddy and new little brother. But it sure is quiet in the house without her.

With all the death and destruction going on in the world I feel better knowing exactly where she is. I like looking in on her and if she's sitting next to me - just grabbing her hand and squeezing it tight.

She is growing up and I have been told I need to let her do a few things on her own. But I don't want to yet.

I want somebody to hold her hand when I am not there. I want them to make sure she is safe. To keep her within a earshot or a just few steps away. Always following her but with enough room between you to think she is doing it by herself.

I miss her terribly and I still have five more days to go.
