Cora, this one isn’t for you sweetie. I still think about you almost every day, when I see your big sister I especially think about you. My heart really longs to know who you were, how you smelled and how beautiful and sweet you were. Life has gone forward here, as it does. The winter is leaving and the days are growing longer and warmer, the air is filled with the smell of orange blossoms and everywhere there is life. But my mind is still with you, my heart still feels you, in my prayers I sometimes reach out to you. I don’t want you to think that because I go on I forget for an instant, I don’t want you to think I have left you behind. You are always with me and I will always be a part of you. I doubt that where you are there is time or even necessity for such thoughts, but I couldn’t stand the possibility that you feel unloved. Wherever I go, as long as I live and draw breath you will be with me and will have my love, and someday I will return to the Father and find you waiting. You have a family that loves you, and a Father who holds you now, and a father who will hold you someday.
