my little baby,

i'm watching your dvd that the college made to honor you. 'may you
stay forever young.... may your hands be always busy, may your feet
always be swift. may you have a firm foundation when the winds of
changes shift.'

savannah, i'm dying. please come home to me.

i do and have loved you so much. i won't make it much longer without
you.

life went into a different place when you left.

mommy-mama,

my beautiful little girl. oh god. i miss you so much.

I'm sorry I have no words to console. Your pain is what I feel every
second of my life. Someone posted earlier "How long?" I believe the
answer is eternity. Then again, I have no desire to feel better. The
clock keeps ticking and the sun continues to rise. Can we just stop
time?

I am, and have been for over a month, trying to write a tribute to my
daughter. A national honors society will be establishing a scholarship
in her name and they have asked me to write a tribute. I can't seem to
do it. I can't find the perfect words to convey her perfection. I want
the world to feel the pain of her loss, to understand how the quality
of life for everyone is diminished without her. I just can't find the
words.

dear jayne,

it was such a struggle for me to write savannah's obituary. how do we
encapsulate a life in a few lines, a couple of paragraphs? i just did
not know how to grab the vitality, the exuberance and sense of
aliveness that she was.

it's wonderful that a scholarship in her name is being formed. i know
writing her tribute won't be easy. there will be both love and pain
in the words you put down for anna.

your post reminded me of something a woman named liliana wrote here
about her son, james. she lost james over nine years ago when he was
trying to push his car off a road; the car ran over him. liliana said
she still has not inscribed any lines except his name and the dates on
his headstone. she said she just can't find the words.

best,

donna
