Trick or Treat

Dear Phoenix,

Today is Halloween. Last year you were a black cat. This year you are an angel. Mommy and Daddy aren’t doing anything this year, it hurts too much. I think you would of liked Halloween this year. You weren’t even walking last year, this year you would of been able to actually go trick or treating! Mommy was planning on dressing you and Little Brother up in coordinating outfits. Cruella Deville and a dalmation puppy? Calvin and Hobbs? Waldo and Wenda?

It has been a little over 5 months since you left. There are days it feels like yesterday. There are days it feels like forever. You turned 2 a few weeks ago. Did you get all the balloons people sent you? Did Pop read you the message I wrote and sent up to you? In your short little life you touched more people then I have in my 28 years. You have no idea how much you are missed.

Mommy and Daddy love you.

Happy Halloween.
