You went to your parade three years ago this Christmas Eve, and although we didn’t want you to go, you had to leave.

They say time eases the pain in one’s heart, but it really isn’t true. I think of what you would say, or what you’d do.

Our family has lost one of its most important parts, please tell me how to mend my broken heart?

I know that I’ll see you again, I do know that it’s true.

But I’m so terribly lost without you!!

Love and kisses, Sonja
