my voice screaming into the void

She was only 12 when I lost her. Her sister is 16, and like most 16-year-olds, she is so busy. She has a busy social calendar,  plus school and sports. So even though I still have my 16yo, I feel like I don’t have either of my babies sometimes.  She was gone at camp last week and the house was so quiet. Even though my husband was there with our 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies. The silence without my babies was deafening. 

I’ve lost so much, but I know and appreciate what I do have.
