She exists
Cloistering cowardice
But she wants so much more

She daydreams 
Endless possibilities
But she questions her potential

She cries herself to sleep
Anguished isolation
But she's safer in her dream world

She acts
Unknown future
But she chooses to experience

Farewell, Walter
I wish you well

There was actually a time when
 I couldn't imagine my life without you.
 Never taking you for granted,
 but always counting on you to be there.
 You once told me this would happen,
 but I didn't want to believe you..
 Losing my best friend, my confidant, my greatest fan
was incomprehensible and frightening.
        Now, there's a hole in my heart
        where you used to be.
        An endless void 
        that will never be filled.
When you said good-bye that day 
I never dreamed it would be our last time together.
But you knew and you kept it from me
trying to save me from the pain.
And then you were no longer there
and my world shattered into a million pieces.
        Now, my days are colder
        and I struggle to get by.
        And there's a hole in my heart
        where you used to be.

        Sometimes I even feel 
        it gets easier for me. 
        But I still long for that soul
        who knew the real me.

She looked back one last time
Knowing it might well be the last
Scared, unsure, but filled with love
She left her country

She did this not for herself,
But out of love for her daughter
Wishing, hoping for a better life
For her little one.

Forsaking all she loved and knew
For the new life in her arms
Leaving the  past behind
And looking boldly to  the future.

You never think of yourself as brave
yet your sacrifice fills me with awe
I hope I can be as selfless as you
I love you Mom!

Brand new
Precious bundle
Life changer
Rapidly growing
Awe inspiring
Chubby cherub
Noise maker
Terrible temper
Adored angel
Perfect boy
Future scholar
Loved forever!
