I could just open the door and cry about how bad my day was or come and hug you and tell you about all the good things. But I can’t. I have a conversation with you every day because you are in me…I am because of you. This grief that we all live with, doesn’t go away, we learn to live around it. I hate that you aren’t with us but I do know you are at peace. I don’t cry as much as I used to anymore, it’s you as always who gives Reema and I strength. You were and continue to be our source of joy. Love you. Till we meet again..”
