her home... her friends... her books... her stuffed animals... her space... a closed door... her secret trinkets hidden in special boxes... time with her dad... and all too young her innocence on that horrid night and in a lifetime i will never know what that did to her
i ask too much of her all the time... i can see it in her eyes... of all of us she has lost the most and i need to find a way to give some of that back and soon
i can't explain to anyone let alone her just exactly how important she is to me... and i'm sorry everyday for the path that her life is on because of choices that i had to make... i know they don't get it what they see is that we should be grateful and appreciative which we are but it doesn't replace all that once was that was good it just helped fix what was bad
i'm not gonna win mother of the year ever... i'm not even in the running and i'm ok with that... but i want to help my girl see that the sun has indeed come out and the storm is over that she can trust

She has the best thing of all Lori, she has you.. I'm sure that's all she truly wants, and is lucky to have a wonderful mother as you are lucky to have such a fantastic daughter (and son)!
