Dear Hailey,

I miss you baby girl. So much that sometimes the days feel like an eternity & the nights even longer...

There's not much I can do but cry quietly to myself. It's hard at night especially. I picture you beside me, telling me about your day. I see you come in my room to say goodnight, with your hair braided in  pigtails, wearing your blue print tank top & short pajamas, holding your pillow sheet in one hand & caressing it with the other...

I can hear your voice telling me Goodnight Mommy, I love you....and I so badly want it to be real. To hug you & never let you go.

My heart hurts. There's always going to be in it, a big gaping hole that I will forever be trying to fill.

I love you so much my sweet girl. I miss your smile. That is what I picture when I think of you. Don't be sad for me, ok? Keep smiling.

One day I will see you again.

Love,
Mommy
