Looking in her eyes... takes my breath away.

Dear Brother,

I got a chance to see your daughter, my niecey pieces, last month in Vegas (sorry I'm late to write). She's grown SO much. Babe, she looks just like you. She has your eyes, your cheeks, and your smile. I see YOU when I look at her. Oh, especially when she laughs, which you will be happy to know, she does quite often. :) I love her laugh. We were only able to spend one day together, but we made it count! We did a little shopping - of course. You know me (smile). We went to the movies and out to eat. Then we had a slumber party full of giggles and laughter. She's such a sweet precious girl. She has the same gentle spirit you had when you were young. I love her so much.

I was afraid she wouldn't remember me... that was, until I saw her,  and her eyes lit up. She remembers her Tia :) And she still gives me all the smiles and laughs! Amil really misses her little buddy. I am hoping and praying we will be able to fly down so our daughter's can visit with each other. I sure miss our weekly Saturday sleepovers, just me and the girls. Amil loves being big "Sissy" to Ya-ya. What I wouldn't do to go back to those days...

I told her how much you love her and how much you would have done ANYTHING to still be here with her. I miss you... I know she does too.
