Tuesday the 19th of January 2010 was exactly one year since my little girl disappeared. For a long time after I waited for things to get “back to normal,” but now I know that things never do and never will. There is a “new normal.” Things just are never the same after a tragedy. You get used to life without a loved one but it is very different. Now instead of tears and sadness I can look back on my few years with Daisy and smile at her memories but I still miss her as much as I ever did. I know if Daisy could tell me something this is what she would say:
Think of with smiles and laughter
For that is how I will remember you all
If you can only remember me with tears
Then don’t remember me at all
Time slips away with each passing day
So don’t throw it away
Live and love life
Give all you can and
Someday I’ll see you again.

I love you sweet Daisy!
