My summer days are bleeding into eachother and I quite can grasp onto the unique aspects of one or the other. Though summer may not last forever, the warmth you have given me may last till the end of time. It is only now, the days where you are no longer by my side, I fear I am losing my ability to remember you entirely. Your sweet ocean smell that seemed to have followed you from the beach to our home, is losing familiarity with my heart. Though every now and then, I get the privilege of smelling the salty aroma and the chance to think of you. Images of us on the beach where my head is laid softly against your chest flash in my head and suddenly it's like you never left.
If I could send you a message in a bottle all the way up in heaven it would say,
"Dear Mother,
It seems that my heart grows heavy and my sould most sorrowful as the days you are not here extend into months and then into years. Your love is still with me, and all I can hope is my love has stayed with you after all these years. I miss you. Do you miss me?
Love,
Your darling little girl"
