Say her name until she becomes real.
Say her name until you feel.
Say her name until it is true.
Say her name until murder bothers you.
Say Issy's name.

Kelli?
Spit that murdering mother's name out.

You don't get to kill your child.
You don't get to kill your child.
You don't get to sacrifice your child's life to demonstrate your pain.
You don't get to expose her hardest moments for your personal gain.
You don't get to kill your Autistic child.
