Charmanders are
red,
Squirtles are
blue,
if you were a pokemon, I'd choose
you.
Your smile is stronger than a
hyper beam,
like
Jesse
and
James,
we'd make the perfect team.
I'll stand by your side, like
Pikachu
and Ash,
and I'll love you more than a level 80
Rapidash.
You're more legendary than a
Zapados,
Entei
or
Mew,
but out of all 450, I choose you.
Your funeral was today,
baby.
The hardest this I ever had to do was let go.
I'm back with mom now. Things are better between us. We
don't fight as much as Father & I did.
Your room is still the way you left it.
Your bed unmade, some clothes on the floor, stuffed animals and
toys thrown all over the place.
I asked mom not to clean it up. It reminds me of you.
I feel like part of you still lives there. Sometimes I forget
that you were only 7.
You acted like someone twice your age.
I get really upset when I remember that we will never get to do
all the things we said we would do.
We will never travel the world together.
Or swim with dolphins.
Or ride an elephant.
If I ever get the chance to do these things, I'll do it
with you in my heart.
I love you.
Maddie,
Your funeral is tomorrow. I don't know if I will be able to handle it. I can't believe you're actually gone. You've been through so much in 7 years. You were so strong. Sometimes when I think of you I just break down & cry. I know you're watching over me & I promise I'll stop hurting myself. I know you don't like it. Life is so different without you. Mom called yesterday to see how I was doing. She said I could move back in with her. It's funny how it took your death to make her realize what she did was wrong. I miss you so much. I'll see you again someday.
