My mouse,

Today turned out to be a good day. I was spoiled by the family including Papi who made me a yummy dinner. I'm so thankful to have them in my life.

This is a quick letter because I feel tired, just to let know that you were on my mind today, starting with the pancake breakfast that your sisters made. We lit a candle in remembrance. Later after they went to school, I went to your room to hug your purple north face sweater. It still smells like you. I felt bad wetting it with my tears but I needed to feel you close.

I talked to my mom after that and she must know because she said she went to church and prayed for me. She said to remember that you are now my "estrella" (shining star) and that I should look to you for guidance.

That Tia M told about your Haileyfly at the beach & that she's glad because we should know you are always by our side, that it's most important that your sisters know too. And that I shouldn't cry too much in front of them because it makes them sad.

I don't know if it's mother's intuition or what but somehow she knew. I told her thanks because I needed to hear those words.

I know you are always by our side.

I know I will see you one day and I'm not sad about aging because I know I'm one day closer. <3

I will remember your post on my birthday every birthday:
