July 4th
Dear, Isabella
I'm sorry to refer to you as Isabella; it's Bella, I know. But Isabella is so beautiful; I hope you give it to a future daughter or granddaughter.
This is probably the 10th letter I've written you today, but I can't help it. I've been dreaming of you since I learned of your existence; we both have.
Isobel's father and I, I mean.
Would you and your grandmother mind if I told my ex-husband about you?When our daughter went missing, we believed that we'd never live long enough to meet you...Please thank your grandmother again for being understanding and forgiving.
Please come back to see me again, I know you will, but I can't help but ask.
Oh, please, that Caroline girl you gush about, I look forward to meeting her.
