Dear Rose,

I can't believe it's over a year since you've not been here
I can't believe it
It feels like a lifetime...
It does

We visited you today,
Mum,dad and me
This time we laid a wreath of roses at your grave
I still haven't grown used to seeing your name on there
Sometimes I like to imagine that you're still here...
Sometimes I get so sad that I cry myself to sleep at night...
Sometimes though I feel happy like you never went...
Grief is such a weird thing you know

Right now I'm sad and I'm writing to you in the middle of the night...
When you actually did it
Mum still hasn't got the power to even go into your room...
Neither do I...
I've not been in your room since the day that you did it...
The day that you turned off the lights....

I wish you hadn't done so...
I say that in nearly every letter don't I?
But it's true
I miss you more than you could ever imagine...
Oh look at the time
I should probably go to sleep now before mum tells me off

Your Sister, Now and Always,
Mione
