December 1, 1998 Dear Nadia, As I walked in the mall tonight I thought of only you. Holiday music played and shoppers were busy with arm loads of merchandise. Christmas decorations and colored lights served to remind me of the last few weeks we were together. You asked me what Christmas was. I told you that Santa would bring you toys and that we would have a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of lights. I told you we would eat your favorite foods that day. You looked up at me so happy and exclaimed, "We will eat hamburgers under the Christmas tree!" Even though we were ripped apart just before that Christmas, I have been waiting for you, my darling, to share all the holidays we have missed together. I will not be alone this Christmas. I will hold you in my heart. I will dream of the day when we will eat hamburgers under the Christmas tree together. With all my Love, Momma
