everything was perfect.

josh and i were sitting in our yard with our daughter, laughing away. it was summer and the sun was shining brightly.

"daddy look what i can do!" our daughter said, and then proceeded to attempt a cartwheel. she landed on her butt and ended up giggling. "oopsie, i messed up."

"that's okay, soph. you're only four and you have lots of time to practice it." josh told sophia. she then smiled.

"can you do your thing?" she asked him.

"the backflip?"

"yes!"

josh let go of my hand and stood up. he then did a backflip and sophie and i clapped for him. he then bowed and sat next to me again.

"i can't wait until we go on concert again." sophie said. i giggled.

"do you mean tour?" i asked her. she often got tour and concert mixed up because she knew she would go to a concert but the move from concert to concert was tour.

"yes! sorry i get them messed up."

"that's okay. are you hungry?"

"a little."

"do you guys want to go to the beach and have a picnic?" josh suggested. sophia's jaw dropped.

"the beach! let's go swimming!" she exclaimed. she then started running towards our house and stopped. "come on, let's go swimming!"

josh and i then got up while laughing.

"we gotta get the food ready." josh reminded her.

"and we gotta get our swimsuits on." i added.

"well then let's hurry! i wanna swim." sophia replied with a bit of attitude. i just shook my head.

"okay, okay, let's get ready." i said, as we walked inside.

i woke up with a jolt.

i was out of breath. it was dark and my clock read 5:23 am. the second i sat up so did josh.

"sophia.." i said, feeling the tears pool at my eyes. "where's sophia?"

josh wrapped his arms around me and i started to cry. he softened my hair and i could tell he started to cry too.

"she's gone. i miss her too." josh whispered. i could barely breathe as i cried harder and harder.

"it's not fair, josh. she was four. it's not fair." i cried. josh pulled away and wiped my tears. i wiped his too.

"i miss her so much." i whispered. josh nodded.

"do you want to go visit her?" he asked me. i looked at the time.

"at 5:30?" i replied.

"cmon, let's go. it's been a couple weeks."

time skip

josh parked by the grave and we both got out of the car. the sun had just barely risen and the air was wet as well as the grass was. but i still went up to sophia's gravestone and sat on the grass. josh sat by me as well.

"hey, soph. mommy and daddy miss you." i whispered. josh took my hand and my throat started to tighten. i felt like i was going to cry.

"we miss you every day, soph. you were our little superstar. even jim misses you." josh said.

"sometimes he still walks around the house and whimpers because he can't find you. you were that doggo's best friend." i added.

"we love you, sweetie. but we know you're in a better place now."

i then reached into my pocket and placed sophia's favorite bracelet on her gravestone. i remembered finding it a few weeks after she passed and crying about it. it never seemed to get easier.

"is that..?" josh asked. i nodded.

"we'll visit you again soon, soph. we love you." i said.

josh and i then stood up and got back in our car. there was silence as we drove.

"do you want to get breakfast?" josh asked me. i nodded.

"that'd be nice." i agreed.

although things were hard then, i had to look at the point. things would eventually be okay. we would be okay.

that's what sophia would have wanted.
