Moments of you

My Dear Baby girl,

I was reading on the internet, something about a pink sunset in our area the last couple of nights. I had to see for myself. So I went for a walk, and saw this:

Glad I did, it was beautiful. Made me think of you.

I saw the family of geese that come visit each year too. The babies are growing fast. How many times we did walk & ride bikes by this lake, and we would stop so you could admire the cute fuzzy yellow babies...

It was funny this morning, they were stopping traffic, while trying to cross the street, waddling slowly one behind the other. They could care less about the cars stopped waiting for them to cross. It was only funny because it was on the opposite side of the road that I had to take to get to work...

Daddy took Bella to the pool, while sissy was straightening her hair for a concert she's going to tomorrow. So I walked alone. Bella saw your mermaid towel in the closet & decided to take it to the pool. Daddy said she laid it on the pool chair next to hers, just for you. I think she did this because of an incident that happened on the bus the other day.

I picked her up from the bus stop & and as soon as she saw me, she started to cry. She said some little boy sat in your seat, in the back of the bus & all the kids started to yell at him, "That's Hailey's seat. You can't sit there!" Even the bus driver I guess got on the loudspeaker & ordered the boy to move because it was your seat. Bella said when she heard your name out loud like that, it made her sad.

I hugged & kissed her, wiped away her tears. I told her I was sorry they didn't think about her feelings, but it was sweet they still save your seat. I offered to speak with the bus driver, but Bella shook her head. She said the bus driver is nice, & that she knows you are sisters. One of the kids told Bella the day they all found out, they were all sad, including the bus driver. Apparently she stopped the bus & told the kids to hug their loved ones when they got home. Because you just never know...

We all think of you all the time mouse.

You exist in all our hearts & minds.

In the sunrises & sunsets.
In the cool summer breeze.
In sunshine & rain.
In butterflies & birds that sing.
In flowers that bloom.
In music & sweet fragrances.

In places we used to go.
Places we used to eat.

Because all those things beautiful & familiar, make us feel closer to you.

You made such an impact in our lives baby girl. I hope you know, how much you are still thought of & loved.

Always & forever...

Your mommy that adores you.
