A Special Angel who brought joy to everybody she came in contact with.
We Love You Baby Girl
I think about how much I miss her
and I feel sorry for myself
then I think of all the people who never got to meet her
and I feel sorry for them....
...fly little butterfly...
that crooked smile, those big blue eyes
that infectious laugh,
the way you walked, the way you talked
you said you loved us up to the sky
we shared butterfly kisses and held each other tight
we talked of our plans of things to come
the lessons you taught us in your short time
how to laugh through pain and smile through tears
and how to be brave through the biggest fears
you made people laugh, you made people cry
they knew you by sight, if not by name
the little girl with the infectious laugh
and the big blue eyes
i wish i could hear that laugh one more time,
or see those big blue eyes with that crooked smile
hear that little voice say 'up to the sky' or hold you once
more while you cried
you live in our hearts and in our souls
your memories are so precious and ours forever to hold
an angel you were from the day you born, an
angel I held the day you went home
I love you 'Mush'

There is a good little sister who likes flowers and butterflies. She got sick and had to go to Heaven and that made me cry. She loves her big brother and that will never die

Happy 3rd Birthday Sweetie! We love you! Yesterday her doctor said that he thinks she's on the road to starting to feel better, her throwing up has slowed down, however, I just spoke to John and she threw up again early this morning. She has developed a rash all over her body, they think its from the pain meds that she's on, so they have switched them, there is no change on the appearance of the rash, but now its starting to scratch her. Her fever is still staying up there and being controlled with tylenol. Her spirits were up for a while Thursday night and Friday, but after the new pain meds she's pretty much out of it. John said the nurses came in last night and decorated her room with streamers and put a big happy birthday banner up in her room. Her naseau was being controlled with ativan, hopefully she will stop the throwing up. She's pretty much the same, the good news is that she's not getting any worse.

That seems like a lifetime ago, the last time I would be able to tell my angel Happy Birthday and see her reaction. I can only say it now and pray that you hear it, so Happy Birthday sweet girl. Twelve years old, wow! You would be in 6th grade and I'm sure you would still be making everyone smile! You still do in your special way. I love you baby girl, and miss you more and more each day.....
