There will be another statue for our angel
To the Editor:
We once had a beautiful little girl but we didn’t get a chance to spend much time with her. After five years she was gone.
Just like everyone who loses a loved one we purchased a small monument to mark where she lays. At the same time a small statue of an angel was placed next to the stone but soon it was taken.
Five years ago, before her father passed, we put another angel on the stone, but before Memorial Day this May 28, 2009, it too was taken.
I guess some people don’t understand when parents lose a child they will never be able to see them smile or hear them laugh again, when they have a birthday or celebrate Christmas, all of the fun times. So they keep doing things to show they still love them and they are always in their thoughts.
I hope you are happy about taking this small thing, just something that might have made a child happy.
There will be another statue because we thought our daughter was an angel.
