In your honor

My sweet girl,

There is so much more I could share with you on a daily basis, writing these letters...so many things to talk about, as we always did together. I don't leave things out purposely, sometimes there is just not enough time or space in which to fit everything in.

So I just write what is in my heart. Whispering to myself as I go...hoping that you can hear me somehow. Hoping that my words will reach you in some way. And if not...maybe they will be of some use to your sisters one day- or to someone else. If not, that's ok too. All I know is that it helps me & that is enough. 
.......

Today I want to share with you a post from Michelle & Debbie (the moms who advocate for Type One diabetes in the state of PA. Here she explains a little bit of their journey to this recent new campaign now happening in their state, which is a big step in the awareness of Type One Diabetes starting at a regular doctor's visit....

Thanks to all their hard work & dedication, they have teamed up with the organization Beyond Type One that is sponsored by Nick Jonas (who also has T1d) to provide & implement education and awareness of T1D through means supplying info packets, posters, flyers, etc ..around to every pediatrician office.

 

 

It choked me up to read this baby girl. It made my heart swell so much it felt like it was going to burst. Just in time for diabetes awareness month too.

 

To know that you did not pass in vein. That you are helping others & making a difference...even now.

 

And will continue to do so.

 

I feel so blessed to have come across these wonderful ladies. I've always felt it was God's hand that lead me to them. And something so great has come of it & hopefully this is just the beginning.

 



I contacted Beyond Type One last week requesting some flyers to pass out in Bella's class & they came in the mail yesterday. Then maybe I'll make extra copies to pass out in churches or post in public spaces like libraries, shelters, hospitals, etc. Anywhere I'm allowed.

As long as I have strength in me...

You & your sisters have always been my strength. I don't think that will ever change.

A grieving parent never wants their child to be forgotten. This is too a way for me to keep your memory alive.

In your honor baby girl. And to all those other lives lost needlessly...

We can help save lives. We can save tragedies from happening. Lives being torn apart by losing their precious loved ones...

Save a parent from having to live with "I should of known, or I didn't know, or I wish I would of known....."

I love & miss you my beautiful girl.

Last night the girls watched Just Go With It - one of your all time favorite movies just to hear you laugh again. We remember all your favorite parts- the ones where you'd crack up no matter how many times you watched the movie. And we can picture you there laughing & imitating & reciting line for line...word for word.

And that is how we bring you back to us.

Where you belong. Where you will always be.

Goodnight my sweet baby.

Visit me in my dreams if you can.

Forever & ever,
Your mommy <3
