Just being devastated. I'm never actually gonna be able to see her again.

 

But the family's van falling into raging floodwaters, I felt myself go under and have the thought like, oh my gosh, is this it?

 

Malaya's body later discovered a mile away.

 

She looked so peaceful and I was able to hold her one last time the way I did when she was a baby.

 

The next day, a handwritten letter from Malaya arriving in their mailbox.

 

I miss and love you guys so much. I don't feel like it was an accident.
