Precious angel

My sweet Hailey,

I wish you were sitting right next to me, right now. I miss your cuddles. I miss looking over at you watching TV intently, sucking your thumb, caressing your 'pillow sheet', or in some funny yoga pose...wondering, "How can she watch TV like that?"....

I miss it all. I miss you.

But I imagine you still, in your angels wings, hair pulled back, cuddling your knees on the couch watching TV & relaxing with us. Laughing at the same jokes Bella laughs at...smiling your sweet smile, just like you used to do.

We finally got some good news yesterday. I know you probably saw your new plaque at the gardens, & I hope you like it. :)

It took forever, my mouse. But it was worth the wait. It's beautiful. A little something that represents you. We didn't just want another headstone with a name and a date. We wanted to include some pictures, from baby to most recent. We couldn't have too many words on it, unfortunately, just four words. :(

So we had to choose carefully. It was so difficult to choose just 4 words...

These are not the best pictures of the plaque. It was raining yesterday which made the first one blurry & today the bright sun created dark shadows...but I couldn't wait another day without sharing it.




It made me so emotional, baby girl. I called the place yesterday right before work, just out of curiosity & the lady said they had just installed it & was going to call me (yeah right).

Even in the pouring rain, I wanted to see it. But I knew it would mess me up for the day (the pouring rain of the last 3 days already had me on the edge)...

So I waited until I got off work, picked your sisters up & then visited. They love it too. :)

The only thing missing is Uncle Mikey, Auntie Zulen & Joshua's Hailey-fly (which I found a small garden steak for), the pretty purple beaded necklace that Papi & Ayde got you (which I'm going to hang on your vase), the wooden carved angel that was blessed, that Uncle Brian got when he visited Europe last month, & last but not least, the mermaid Tyler made for you out of his legos (hopefully he still has it :)

~In loving memory~

So you never feel alone...

So you know we are always thinking of you..

So you know how much you mean to us...

So you know how much we love you...

So you know how much we miss you....

So anybody else who happens to walk by &
stops to look, can see what a beautiful angel
you were.

And still are...

And always will be..

Forever & ever,

Until the end of time,

Our Precious Angel

And I, will be forever & ever,
Your loving Mommy
