Dearest Isatou

It has taken some time to find the strength to talk to you.

It has taken some time to be able to look back, and not find you.

It has taken some time to think the thoughts of you gone.

But we feel you.

We barely knew you, but we see you in the smile of our boy.

We hear you in the laughter of his voice.

And we will always smile with you, and laugh with you,

and just know... you will never be gone.

Because we feel you.

Always.

With all our love,

Tante Heidi, Uncle Nick, and cousin Aeden
