She’ll never get to hold you close, or know your kind, silly heart, but she’ll always be here with you.

She’s here in the curl I tuck behind your ear when you fall asleep on my chest
And in the strength behind your convictions.
She’s here when share your blocks with your friends
And in the excitement when you see your dogs.
She’s here when you hug me extra tight
And in the gentle kiss you lay upon your brother’s head.

You’ll know her in every meal you eat in a home filled with love
You’ll know her in all that we build together, and
You’ll know her in the adventures our family takes.

I miss her every day
But though she was taken from me too soon,
I’m lucky
I get to see a little bit of her every day in you.

She’s the spark that ignites your light.
She’s the hand lifting you up.
She’s the angel in your eyes
