She brought so much light into my world, into my life.

Now that light has gone.

She's dead.

She's dead and I couldn't save her.

I had to watch her go from the light into the darkness.

I had to watch her take the light away from me.

I had to watch and there was nothing I could do.

I loved her so much. She was the daughter I never thought I'd have.

I loved her and I couldn't save her.

I taught her so much. But it still wasn't enough. It never is.

She's gone.

The light has gone.
