March 4th

Dearest Ivan,

The day you were born was the day the sky changed from a winter sky into a spring sky.  We buried you today, the day the spring winds came.  The grass was half green, the trees hinting of pollen.  I imagine myself as a wrinkled old woman, still wearing your golden ring around my neck.  Dozens of springs lie ahead of me.  Thousands of days...  I will long to hold you and kiss your sweet cheek each and every one of them.  Like the world in winter, seemingly dead, you lie dormant.  But I know you live.  I know we will be together again.  I know you're looking down on us, my sweet angel.  I miss you.  I love you.

Love,
Your Mama
