My Dear Madison,
First of all happy birthday! Happy heavenly birthday. It's hard to believe that you would have been twenty seven years old today. It's even harder to believe that you've been gone for ten and half years. The dogwoods are blooming just in time for your birthday, I think that would make you happy. You might say it's nature's gift to you. The weather has also been very nice, cool mornings and warm (not hot) days.
I miss you so much Madison. I'm trying not to dwell on your absence when I think of you but it is very hard. You made such a big impression, I miss your humor, your laughter and your hugs. I am so grateful that you were mine even if for a brief time. There is so much more I could write but I won't, you know my heart.
I love you,
Mama
xoxo
