I was told when people die, their souls become stars in the night sky. The brightest stars are people who were selfless, gentle, and good-hearted.

You died as I was born. Daddy said you were the most loving girl he's ever met. I see him cry sometimes because he misses you.

I've never met you, but from what Daddy says, you must've been the most incredible person to ever live.

I can't help but feel like I'm the cause of your death.

I mean, you used all of your energy, all of your being to make sure I was okay. You didn't care if you were or not.

I'm sorry, Mommy.

If what Daddy says is true, and he says he learned it from you, you must be the sun. You're the most kind-hearted, gentle, beautiful, and selfless person to walk the earth.

I wish I could've gotten to know you.

Since I am half of you, I guess I know you a little bit. Daddy always says that all of the good things I do, I get from you. I sing, write, draw, paint, and dance. Daddy says I got all of that from you.

I hope it's true because those things make me happy. They're what I love to do.

If I got them from you, that makes me love them even more.
