I Love My Daughter

My beautiful daughter. She would’ve been 15 today. I lost her 6 months ago and there is so much I should have done different. Instead of being stern I should have been understanding. Instead of yelling I should have spoke softly. I should have saw how depressed she was and done something about it but naturally I decided it was a puberty thing. My children now must grow up without their sister. I had to bury my child because I cared more about having independent, strong children than children that were happy and mentally healthy. If I didn’t have 3 more kids to raise I would have taken my own life after my daughter. She was beautiful and kind and smart. She did not deserve to leave this earth feeling worthless and unloved. She deserved to graduate high school and get married. She deserved to have a boyfriend and go to prom. I never got to tell her how truly beautiful she was inside and out. Moral of the story is to appreciate your children. You never know when you’ll lose them.
