The event I created in your honor- Hailey's Random Act of Kindness Day on your angelversary, was a big success. It made me really happy to see all the different types & acts of kindness people came up with- big & small; all in your honor.
It really made a difference on this hard day. When I started thinking of the dreaded day that was approaching, I knew I wanted to do something positive that would overshadow the sadness of this day. I searched some ideas online & in the grief books & they all suggested the same- to focus on the life your loved one lived, instead of focusing on their death. Life over death.
Not only were you a beautiful person inside & out, but you lived a beautiful life as well. It was the perfect way to remember you- your kindness & sweetness that touched so many.
I was going to copy & paste everyone's act of kindness, but they were so many I'm just going to include the link instead.

Some of the comments that were made really made me smile. I want to save them because on the days I am most sad, I want to be able to read them again, just like all the cards I've saved. Each describes some part of you...
These are just some of the comments & posts, my mouse. Even more were the amazing acts of kindness. ...
When I think about faith & hope, this is what makes me believe baby girl. The goodness that does still exist- despite of all the evil & all the messed up things that happen around the world...
This is something we can always look back on as a reminder to have faith, hope & to choose love. In honor of you.
I read something similar recently:
We will not dwell in the darkness, because that is not where you exist. The light of your beautiful soul shines too bright & it is in the light where you remain.
And it is there, that we will follow...it is there that we will find you.
We love you so much Hailey.
Sweet dreams,
Forever,
Your mommy <3
