My sweet, Vaila

Sweet Vaila, my heart breaks.

My heart breaks for your dad. No father should have to experience this. He’s already going through so much.

My heart breaks for Megan. A pain no mother should ever know. She wanted a little girl named Vaila for so long. So long. She was looking forward to meeting you. The hell you’d give your brothers. To the mischief you’d probably get into. For the bond of mother and daughter.

My heart breaks for our family. We’d just gotten to know you. Alex and I were so smitten. So excited to buy you science and engineer princess dresses. For your visits to DC. The adventures we’d have.

My heart breaks for the incredible future you had in front of you. For your life, cut too short.
