My physical presence is all Talia needs to be calm. She doesn't need much from me, just my physical body. My warmth, my smell, the angle I hold her body, the way I support her head. My mother says that when she looks at me it’s like she's staring into the face of God, and I believe I see that too. I am Talia's everything but I cannot let her be my everything. I cannot let everything be lost when she is gone. My family was whole of which she is a part, but not everything of that whole. Without her we will be missing a piece, a forever incomplete puzzle, so close to perfect, close to complete, but not quite.
