December 22nd
I thought mom was just gone. I thought mom would come back after she got better.
I didn't think that I would see her name on a tombstone.
Mrs. Willow took me to the cemetery today. She told me there was something very important she need to show me. I don't like cemeteries, they're old and you always feel creeped out. We trotted through the belly-deep snow until we stopped at one of the graves. I looked up at Mrs. Willow and she looked very sad... but not for herself. For me.
She brushed off the snow on the grave and I saw mommy's name. I saw mom's name and the day she died.
Here lies

Beloved Mother to Discord
And then I realized she was gone forever. I collapsed crying and Mrs. Willow had to carry me home to the orphanage. One year... I wasted one year waiting for my mom to come back.
But now I know. I'll never see her again. She won't come back.
I miss her.
