Lookin' like I'm havin' fun...
Although she's cute, she's just a substitute, because
You're the permanent one.

Writing to Lois on April 16 nine years ago:
"In real life and in just parts of four days last week, she really moved into my heart. Where she will always stay."
Soyeah nine years isn't 'always', but it's a good start.
Writing on April 17, on this exact day nine years ago:
"We can keep connecting with Anna as much as we want and whenever we want, by opening ourselves to listen to her wherever she is now, over the bridge of love we have for her that can always keep her close and safe."
I could have written all that just yesterday. Since I feel the same ways now as then.
Clocks and calendars all melt. Some other things do not.
