She is six years today. Her younger siblings, 3 and 4, cannot understand why we had cake today, why mum has to go to boring cemetery, why her mood changes out of nowhere. Flashbacks are still really tough though less often. I can’t stop thinking she would have gone to school soon. I miss her so much, and the world will never see her. Happy birthday my only daughter, I love you for always.

I am so sorry your sweet girl isn’t here with you. My daughter would be 9 and my son (7.5), was missing her today on the walk home from school. He asked, after the day she died, what was the second worst day of my life. I couldn't answer that question…but we all miss her. Happy much belated birthday. I hope you find some peace.
