Was Love Enough?
Dear Aabi Time has been incredibly cruel since the day you closed your eyes to this world. The days seem to drag in the slowest of motion, while months pass by without you. It has been six months since that dreadful day our little doll was taken from us. Taken so suddenly that, to this moment, I have not been able to move past those horror-filled hours when life chose to betray me in the worst ways. I witness every morning as a new day dawns and every night as darkness falls.
