My Sweet Little Love,

I hope someday when you read this, you feel how much you were missed, every single day. The house has been so quiet and still since you haven’t been here. It’s as if everything is just holding its breath, waiting for you to come back and bring it to life.

Your toys sit perfectly in their places, untouched and too quiet. The dress-up clothes are all hung neatly, but they don’t twirl or sparkle the same without you dancing around in them. Even the box of hair stuff—oh, how I miss you playing with my hair, brushing it with all the seriousness of a professional stylist. I can almost feel your tiny fingers twisting and turning, your soft giggle each time you made me “fancy.” Without you, even the hair ties and bows seem to have lost their color and animation.

I still remember how, after you were done styling my hair, you’d look at me with those sparkling eyes and proudly ask, “Can I take a picture?” You were so proud of your work. Those pictures—oh, those pictures! Silly hairdos with rainbow bows everywhere, clips lined up in the most creative ways… They bring me so much joy. I look at them and I can still hear your giggles, see your smile, feel your little hands proudly patting my head. It’s like I get a piece of you back, even if just for a moment.

It seems the whole house is waiting for you to reappear. Waiting for your little feet to race across the floor, for your sweet voice to echo through the rooms, and for your laughter to light up every corner. It’s like we’re all frozen, waiting for you to jump back into our lives and bring all the joy and wonder that you carry in your heart.

I miss seeing the world through your bright, curious eyes. You always had a way of making everything seem magical. You have a gift, my love—a way of bringing life and light wherever you go. I feel so lucky that I get to be your Nana. And no matter how quiet it gets, you are always in my heart, always on my mind.

I hope you never forget how much you are loved. And even though you’re so close, it feels like you’re worlds away. I miss you every day, and I’m always waiting with open arms, just hoping to see you walk through that door again.

I love you to the moon and back, and then some more.

Love always,
Nana
