Today we celebrate your life....



 
"The reality is that we don't forget, move on, and have closure, but rather we honor, we remember, and incorporate our deceased children and siblings into our lives in a new way. In fact, keeping memories of your loved one alive in your mind and heart is an important part of your healing journey." ~ Harriet Schiff, author of The Bereaved Parent


On your 9th Angelversary...


Today is my daughter Getzia's 9th anniversary in heaven.  As I think about her more and more, I miss her so much that it hurts sometimes.  I look at her baby Jayleanna, growing beautifully and resembling her mother in so many ways, and I am grateful for this wonderful present I was given.  I feel so blessed!

Today, I choose to celebrate her life.  She will forever be my daughter, even though she took a piece of my heart when she left.
