Not really the place I know. But I want everyone to read this. I want you all to know how wonderful my daughter was and how much she is missed. So indulge me please.

Tommorow (27th) is the fourth anniversary of my girls death from luekemia. She was only 14 and was wonderful. She was so strong and brave, so dignified and graceful, so very very beautiful.

I miss her. I wish you could all have met her.

I found this poem after she died.

THE RECALL
THE night was dark when she went away, and they slept.

The night is dark now, and I call for her, "Come back, my darling; the world is asleep; and no one would know, if you came for a moment while stars are gazing at stars."

She went away when the trees were in bud and the spring was young.

Now the flowers are in high bloom and I call, "Come back, my darling. The children gather and scatter flowers in reckless sport. And if you come and take one little blossom no one will miss it."

Those that used to play are playing still, so spendthrift is life.

I listen to their chatter and call, "Come back, my darling, for mother's heart is full to the brim with love, and if you come to snatch only one little kiss from her no one will grudge it."

Rabindranth Tagore

I am sending you a big hug. I will say a prayer for you tonight when I go to bed. I hope it gives you some comfort to know a stranger will be thinking of you and your little angel. I salute you for soldiering on when your heart must be breaking.

When I gave birth to my daughter I felt that really everyone in the world should stop what they were doing for a little bit and marvel.

Tomorrow I will stop for a short while and give thanks for what I have had and I will also think of you.

My best wishes to you.
