Dear Erin,
We had a memorial service for you today. We gathered at the nature center in Grindley Lodge, where we took the kids for breakfast with Santa last December. Hundreds of people came to celebrate your life. Everyone brought food and we laughed and cried and hugged. There was a bonfire burning outside, where we wrote messages to you and threw them into the fire. I hugged your dad and told him "we made her and she was beautiful." We sat and watched the smoke carry messages into the trees on their way to you.
Love, Mom
A hundred times a day I want to talk to her. So I write letters and listen carefully for her reply.
