All Soul's Day

This is not how I perceived Halloween.

I should have you in my arms while we visit your grandmother.

I was supposed to tell mom on her grave... "Mom, look. Here's Mavis. She's so pretty right?"

I am so disheartened by the fact that I just visited you the other night.
31st of October. Brought you some very cheap flowers and a little candle.

You are supposed to be here dressed up like a little bunny, pumpkin or fairy. Or you can just be you.

I miss you Mavis.

I am praying for your soul.

Your grandma and uncle are with you. You shouldn't be sad.

I love you Mavis.

You will always be remembered.
Not just today.
But everyday.

Because I'm your mother.
It is my responsibility to protect your memory.
