The Universe had other plans for you Sweet Child.
Not anything we ever expect for such a young one.
You showed up into this world as a princess.
You left it too quickly as a brave fighter.
Only 7 years old with yet 100 years of life experience.
No child should ever be this sick.
No child should ever be tortured by  this terrible disease.
****. You. Cancer.

Le comble de l'amour est de s'endormir profondément dans les bras de la personne qu'on aime.

It took me a long time to let you go.
It took me even longer to forgive.
Now I wish I could just forget.

For years, you've been on my mind.
Too painful to get in touch.
Embarrased is not strong enough of a word.
Regretful. Remorseful.
My most painful memory.
The look in your eyes.
The sound of your cries.
I will forever be sorry.
Your forgiveness is no longer a possibility.

Your crooked fingers are trembling.
Brown age spots cover your hands.
You lift your cup to your wrinkled fine lips.
Savouring a moment to inhale the sweet smell of your afternoon tea.
You smile at me who is obviously staring,
in admiration of you, Dear old lady.

Our journey together was somewhat short-lived.
Only a few months for us to connect.
You seemed to be doing well.
Coming up for air from time to time.
Making bubble nests.
Hiding under a fake plant.
You really did hit rock bottom last night.
This morning, you didn't move at all.
Goodbye little friend.
Our Beta called Beta.
We will miss you!

From within my head,
I know what I want.
From within my heart,
I know what I feel.
From within my soul,
I know pure love.
