Dear Felix,

So many things happen that I wish I could show you. Not just normal things, like dogs and cats and cars and trains. I’d have shown you all of those things, but I’d also have taken you to galleries. Museums. Even really boring ones, with steam engines and old cars, if that’s what you’d have liked. Today I was out walking and I saw a little boy about your age, on a kind of a tricycle thing with a long stick attached. His mother was pushing it along, so she was doing all the work, but the little boy either didn’t know that or didn’t care. He was smiling so widely, with such a look of triumph as though he was Evel Knievel, a stuntman, a daredevil, not a little boy being pushed along a city street on a plastic bike by his mother. And I realized in his head he was that stuntman. You could see it in his eyes, in his expression, in his smile.

And I had to forget my walk and go home and I cried like I haven’t cried since the early days. It’s not going to get better, is it? I thought it might, that time would eventually help me, help us all, but now, today, I am frightened that it won’t. Because there will always be a hole your exact size in our lives, and we can never fill it because you are not here anymore.

I miss you so much, Felix. I loved you so much and I miss you so much every single day.
