To my dear Lily,
Lily. A very enchanting name, don't you think? A name fitting for an angel who stole my heart away. When you left, you took my heart along with you. Your smile that brightens my day were gone forever. Every single breath I drew, reminds me of you. It was devastating. The pain of losing someone you love. However, when I saw the small hands of our little angel, Michelle, I knew that I cannot forever wallow in self despair. I promised to myself that I will protect her from everything.
Each day, our little one would asked me about you. Each time, i would tell her that you are the stars which shone the brightest in the sky. That you are probably in a better place. As time goes by, she started to look more and more like you. Her fiery temper, her blue eyes, everything, reminds me of you.
One day, I decided to bring her to the cabin near the lake. Do you remember? It's the place where we met for the first time. The crystal blue water, the lush green scenery, the birds chirping happily and you. I was mesmerized by your beauty during that day and asked for a chance to paint the view. The painting was still in the gallery inside our house. This time though, I would paint our daughter.
I looked at our Michelle and saw her playing with the water, just like you do when we first met. How I wished you were here with us, playing happily with our daughter and I would cherish every single moment of them. Before I knew it, a single tear leaked from my eyes. I felt her soft, small hand touched my face and asked, "Daddy, why are you crying?"A question that only you held the answer. I was speechless and could only smile bitterly. At that time, deep in my heart I knew she was steadily growing up to become a lovely woman, just like you.
Dear angel, I hope that you will always watching over us. Until the time comes, I'll always be here waiting for you until the end of time. Till next time.
yours truly,
Henry
