Watching Over Me


She was born two days after my husband died. My daughter was beautiful though. Every inch of her. My only regret is she'll never know her father. She's two days old, now, and it's become clear to me only recently how her first year of life will be harder for me than it was her older sister.

Many asked why I've decided to catalog my second child's life. I want my children to be able to look back and see how much they meant to me after I'm gone.

I have come to the startling revelation that I'm not going to be here forever, and my children will have to learn to cope without me. And so I'm beginning to teach my oldest to take care of everything.

Many who I'm sure will read this after my death will be puzzled, at my actions and my lack of grief... but I am grieving. I cannot explain quite yet, however.


Puzzled as to who everyone is? Don't worry, it'll become apparent in the next chapter... and if anyone knows who hacked into my account, could they notify me via email?
