In some ways it feels like a life time ago simply because all that we have endured since the day you were born. I feel like I have traveled in a time capsule through feelings of joy, fear, grief and despair in such a short period of time.
My love for you is profoundly eternal, you are with me, I carry you in my heart every moment of every day. The purpose of my life is infinitely more clear because you are my daughter, because of your journey, no matter how brief your time here with me. I carried you for nine months. I knew you then, felt you move, loved you deeply. Then finally I got to see your beautiful little face, hold you in my arms and my life will never be the same. So now you are gone, you have entered eternal life and I know you will be waiting for me. I hope that in heaven time is irrelevant, so the day we meet again, you will not know how long we were apart.
If only we had one more day..... I often wonder but that would leave me wishing still for one more day with you.
Good night my sweet.
Faith lifts the
staggering soul on
one side,
Hope supports it on
the other,
Experience says it
must be-
and love says
let it be.

Happy Heavenly birthday Evie. I'm at a loss of words, on a day like today. Bobby and Brian, you are both very strong, amazing parents. Please keep on smiling and fight for a cure. Evie, you are missed deeply and I only knew you for a short few hours. Thinking of you all, on day like today. Sylvia A.
Our granddaughter would have been 1 1/2 years old now and we miss the "what could have beens" and think of what milestones she would have made by now. But we will always treasure the 28 days we did have with her to appreciate her personality. Our hearts broke for her as she struggled with one thing after the other, but also inspired us to see how she seemed to accept what life has dealt her. We send you our prayers as you reflect on your Evelyn's first anniversary and know that you are thought of and not alone. Celebrate the memories you have because in the end, that is all any of us can really hang onto and we know her presence will always be felt in your heart.
