Dear Cousin,

You gave away everything. You did, didn’t you? You didn’t choose, you had to. Beaten, broken, smashed, thrashed. Mind and body, even soul. They took your name, I never got it. Did you even have one? Were you even real? Six million is too large to know. The loved ones I’ve had have been enough. I never missed you. I never even thought to ask for you. After all, where were you? You left. Gone. Gone. Before I even knew you. Gone before you could know me. I’m older now, I found my soul. But now my mind longs for you. You could’ve changed the world. Would’ve changed My world. You never had a voice. Speak through me. Say things I long to hear. Guide me. Remind me. Walk beside me. I’ll speak for you. I’ll love for you. I’ll laugh for you. I’ll remember you. Now and Always.
