In the car
I miss you, but I am better, way better. Mommy is engaged!
It has been one year and 9 months since you left me, Bonita, and I can still feel you next to me in the car some days. I don't cry so much anymore, and I think of you and how you spun in circles when you saw me!
I know one day I will see you again. Visit me in my dreams, please. Play with me and sit on my lap.
Mommy loves you and will never forget you, sweetie, my Bonita, my baby.
