Dear Victoria,

Even more than usual, you have been on my mind almost constantly this week. I was putting gas in the car a couple of days ago and saw a butterfly around my car. It reminded me of the butterfly that landed on you the last time we went to the Dinosaur museum, except that it was blue and not green...still very pretty.

I was also looking at your pictures from the beach and remembering the last time we were there together. I wish we could be there this Summer, but I suppose that mommy will not let this happen.

I ordered the writing on your Silver Christmas Bell for this year before it is sent to me. I don't know if mommy will let me send it to you...probably not, but I will keep it for you and give it to you when I finally get to see you. You have alot of them over here by then. I have been giving you one every Christmas since you were born, just like your mommy's grand-mother did for her, and like I did for mommy every year we were together. It always meant alot to her...at least I hope it did. I hope someone will continue doing this for mommy...I really hope that she will find someone that will make her happy one day.

I am getting ready to go to bed now. I miss you my little babies more than I can ever say. I love you more than anything in the would universe...that's a lot. I'll continue to take care of Summer the Cat for you until I see you again, and I'll keep giving Mango your nite-nite kisses and a big hug at bedtime every night.

Love, forever and always... Daddy
