Morning, baby girl. I went to a dance recital this weekend, and in the dark I cried for you. If you would have been mine you would never be frightened. You would never be alone. You would never be bored, or lonely, or sad.
You would have been up there on stage with all of the other little girls, smiling and dancing and feeling special. And I would have presented you with roses at the end of your dance and told you how wonderful you were and how proud of you I was.
We would have then gone to your favorite restaurant, you still dressed in your princess dress, and everyone would have made you feel like the most prized princess in the world. Because you should have always felt that way - a special gift for your family, more valuable than all the gold in the world.
You have touched my life forever, and because of you I have become a better mommy, more in tune with my own children.
I wish you were one of them, Caylee. I know that all of us here would have done anything for the gift of raising you to a beautiful young woman.
We are all here for you, and I hope that you feel the love we all send to you every single day - it's in every tear, every smile, every thought and every question we have about this case.
Always, always wishing and praying for you sweet baby - have fun in the sunshine today and everyday.
