At first, she told me she wanted to be a hairdresser. because she liked it long hair, so she wanted to be hairdresser, so I would buy her dolls, hairs and dolls, and we would play with the dolls' hair, and I would do her hair, and he was like, Gigi, it's my turn to do your hair, so yes.

My heart is broken into millions and millions of pieces that I have not been able to put back together. To know how my granddaughter passed away, It's worse beyond. I can't imagine the final word in the dictionary to describe my whole total feeling. But my heart is empty. I miss Amari every day. There's days I'm thinking that door's going to open up and she's going to come in.

There's a picture that I have. I talk to her like she's still here. There's days when I feel like I can hear her voice calling me Chi Chi.

Even when I go in the kitchen and cook and make that pan of bread that she thought was a cake, I feel like I can see her standing at the kitchen sink. I miss Amar. This impact of my life will never be put back together again. My granddaughter did not deserve The way that she was taken out of this world. No one deserves to be taken out of this world this way. I'm praying that God heals me.
