I´ll love you forever. I´ll like you for always. As long as I´m living, my baby you´ll be. If it had to be this way and we knew it had to happen, I´d have been there to hold you through your last breath and rocked you as I sang you to your eternal sleep. You have always been and will always be deeply loved. Forever, there will be a scar on my soul.
You are my sunshine,
Maja (Mom)
