Holly

I just wanted to write this and tell you how deeply sorry I am if I hurt you. I realized looking at the pictures of Carleigh in the scrapbook that you indeed have a pain I will NEVER know. But, I want you to understand (if you can) that you are my daughter and I have you here on earth and I want to hold you, love you and do whatever I can to help you through this. I know it won't go away and nor would I want it to but, I would like you to see where I am coming from. it broke me to see her stone, i wanted so badly to hold her.
I don't ever want to make you feel like you should hurry up and "get over it", because you never will. All I ask is you don't shut me out even if we go slow in the process. That is OK with me, your grief and mine are different (as they should be) but mine is still there. I love my new Holly and I can deal with her (I've had practice with the old Holly-lol) I just want you to take your time in all of this and know I will be here whenever you need me. Trust in that.
