I have been getting messages from my daughter every night for two years since she left. Every night, at the exact same time, just after 10 o' clock I get a message saying "Good night mom. Love you!" I never respond. I don't want to respond. I'm afraid to see what will happen. I know it may sound ridiculous but you don't know the full story. You see, I'm a 30 year old woman with one child, my son. Two years ago, before my son was born, I got into a car crash with my 16 year old daughter. The crash killed her almost immediately. She's been buried for two years, and for those two years her phone has been sitting in her room. I don't dare go in there. I'm moving tomorrow. Every time I pass her room I can smell the rotting flesh. I can't live in this house anymore. She already took my husband and our dog, I don't want her to take me or my one year old son next.
