Christmas Gift for You

My Dearest Raya,

I kept wondering what I could give you this Christmas.

I kept thinking of a gift, but Mommy couldn’t think of anything. Then one morning, it came to me — this is the greatest gift I could give you.

To honor you. To share our story. To help others find their way through grief, just like I’m trying to do.

This website was created with the help of people dear to me. They came together, chipped in, and supported me so this could be made possible. It reminds me that even in pain, there is still so much love surrounding us.

Raya, I see this space being filled with love and healing. I truly believe that love heals — and I pray that through this, we can build a community that helps other grieving parents find comfort, understanding, and hope.

A parent’s greatest gift to their child is love.

And this — this is my love for you.

Merry Christmas in heaven, my Raya.

I hope you liked my gift. I know you are with Jesus now, safe and loved. Please continue to guide us, and when you can, visit us in our dreams.

I love you always and forever,

Mommy 💗
