Would I miss you if you left today? Yes, and every day after.
Her: Will you be okay? Me; Not at first, but I will get better.
Her; I’m sorry I got lost, it was so cold but, I wanted to come home I was looking for you.
Me; I know, I feel so responsible :-(, I wish I could found you & brought you home.
Her; Mommy I love you, I’m sorry I died.
Me; Dearest Gracie, I love you very very much, every choice I made was trying to find you more joy in life, I’m sorry I didn’t plan better my heart aches as I play all the scenarios over & over in my head to prevent this. (My words break through tears is hard to speak.)
Her; Mommy, I have to go.. I know Gracie, your tiny body broke in the cold weather.. Gracie you are alive in my heart I see you in my minds eye , you’re very much alive in my memories. That said, your absence is noticed more. I love you & I won’t say goodbye, only I will see you again, Mommy not so young anymore ..have fun with Trooper & all your new friends …(pause)

Me; Gracie , Gracie ?? My goodness she’s gone.. (Over the rainbow bridge she traveled)
