In your short time on earth, you have touched many hearts that will forever be changed because you were here!
*at 1:53pm on January 20, 1998 God blessed us with our little miracle baby!
*LOVING YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!
*how beautiful you were (all 1 lb. 7 oz. & 11 1/2 in. of you!)
*how loved you were (and still are)
*how proud I was to be your mommy!
*how proud your daddy was of you! He had your picture and brought it and showed everyone he could (daddy's little girl)
*how proud all your grandparents were to have you for a granddaughter
*standing at your bedside and watching you for hours at a time (trying not to miss a single precious moment with you)
*all the hair on your head! (with the little curly q on the very top of your head)
*how you had your daddy's BIG eyes and extra LONG eyelashes (and you would open up those beautiful eyes and look at us when we talked to you)
*how you also had your daddy's nose (even though your grandma didn't think so)
*your long fingers and toes (that you obiviously didn't get from your daddy!)
*how you loved to practice kicking your legs (while you were in my womb and after you were born) & opening and closing your hands (just as if you were waving to us)
*how your daddy would lift your head and make sure that your ear was not squished
*how your daddy would take his finger and stroke your forehead
*holding your hands in mine
*how you held onto my finger tightly (especially when they were doing a head sono one afternoon)
*feeling great that I could change your diaper and take your temp
*the nurse and I changing your urinary bag that you hadn't put a drop into and when we got it off you that is when you decided to pee all over!
*how you loved to be on your belly and would get practically on all fours and put your cute butt in the air!
*sadly how you would scrunch up your face when you didn't like what the nurses were doing to you
*tickling your toes
*how you sucked on your et tube
*how you hated lots of noise (and one of your nurses posting signs that read, "Shh! Kaitlyn is sleeping.")
*all those sad and happy feelings rushing through my head as I held you in my arms for the very first time and never wanting to let you go!
*watching as your daddy loving held you in his arms for the first time
*how you wouldn't let us know you were a girl until the day you were born (you kept your legs crossed like a good little girl)
*hearing your heartbeat for the very first time
*my heart melting when I saw you for the very first time (as shaky as I was)
*Pastor Jim blessing you the evening you were born
*reading a prayer to you every night before your daddy and I left
*how you kept swatting Julie with your free hand as she put in your pic line (you knew what you liked and didn't like)
*seeing your belly retract as you would take some breaths of your own
*naming you after a wonderful nurse at the hospital-Rose
*caressing your smooth skin as I gave you a bath for the first and last time
*closing your eyes and telling you to go to heaven and be at peace with God
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light
Celine Dion-Falling into You
*how you looked at peace as you left our world an went on to heaven (9:45pm February 2, 1998)
January 20, 1998-February 2, 1998
