THERESA TAFERNER Draga Mama, This morning I awoke feeling alive. The sky was blue, not a cloud around. Birds singing and flying high. Suddenly I hear a knock at my door. I know it's you. Knock knock, I go running. Knock knock, I can't get there quick enough. As I reach to open the door my eyes open wide. I am confused and then I realize I was only dreaming. I quickly go to my door and find no one there. My heart sinks low. The sky is grey and not a bird can be heard. The same way it has been since you left me alone and crying three years ago. As time passes I miss you more. My feeling of loneliness and sadness only grows. I hope to see you in my dreams tonight. Mom, I know I've said it many times before, but you are always on my mind and close to my heart and I love you, I love you, I love you. Sinek Frenkie P.S. Edi, we miss you too and again a big thank you to my cousin Hermina.
