What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain
And love will see you through

Just a box of rain, wind and water
Believe it if you need it
If you don't, just pass it on
Sun and shower, wind and rain
In and out the window

Like a moth before a flame
And it's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it

Or leave it if you dare
And it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long, long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

—Dad

How do I say goodbye to you, my sweet one? The grey hairs you gave me when you were little were all worth it to end up with my best friend. I will forever miss our loop of
Costco-Sephora-Indigo-Starbucks dates every couple weeks. Our trips to New City Supermarket to get all your favourite snacks and the ingredients for you to make your amazing ramen. Taking you to your nail appointments, and our Friday night pizza pyjama parties. There is not enough time or words to give you the honour you deserve. The little peace I have now is that you are safe in Jehovah's memory. I will miss and love you every single day. Until we meet again, sweet dreams my Jelly Bibble.
Love,
Jelly Elina xoxo

To steal a quote from Steel Magnolias,
Altered to be from Thea's mom and dad,
We were there when that wonderful creature drifted into our lives, and we were there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of our lives.
