Abstract

I will write you a magic story, a world with no tubes and no pain. Little Dee will get in bed beside you and feed you all the squares. All the squares you want, Mom. I’ll sing you all your favourite songs and write them all for you. Thank you for loving me just as you did. For being just as you are. I am who I am because of you. I love you. I will miss you and miss telling you all the stories. You would say my name just so: “Deeeaaanna”. Who will say my name as you did, to let me know I’m living my best life? I’ll do my best to continue Mom, and hope to hear you say my name just as you did, just as you know.
