January 23th, 2004 - Went shopping today at a thrift store and I always read about people getting signs from their loved ones. I thought that would be kind of cool if you would show me that you was here with me. I went into an isle with stuffed animals on it. I found a lil bunny that was from the March of Dimes organization, dealing with treating sick babies. It had a little tag on it's ear saying, "Hello, my name is Peaches. I was born a healthy baby on Easter of 2003." Your birthday fell on Easter of 2003. I bought it cause I knew it was a sign from you Emmy. Thank you for showing me you are always there.

January 24th, 2004 - Today my mom's friend, Karen, her brother performs as Elvis like a tribute band tonight and we went to see him. He made it a benefit concert cause a little boy that used to come to his shows died of brain cancer January 20th at the age of only five years old. They raised 1,008 dollars to help the family out. It's so sad to hear of a child that never really even got to experience life. My heart goes out to Issac's family and friends.

I vow to myself that my first born daughter I will name her Emily Ann and tell her all about you.

Congradulations Evanescence on a job well done and keep writing such inspirational songs.
