Emma's Day



Today makes three years since we lost our Emma Marie. Time is truly an amazing thing and yet there are moments when I feel I have just lost her. Those are the times I cling to the things I know, the feelings I felt that night I held her in my arms and stared into her perfect face.
Oh, how we miss you baby Emma.

I'm so impressed with you and Duvall. I try to cherish the rough moments with my children more and pretend to think I'm as pure and good as you! I know how hard times might be with the loss of Emma, but thank you for your example! I really miss you Amy... don't know if it's lack of sleep, or post pardom, but I'm crying now! Great!

I also have vivid memories of that emotional, scary, sacred, night. I will never forget the feeling of love that I had for your family. I wanted to crawl into your hospital bed with you and hold you and cry with you. I wanted so much to help you and take that pain away from you and DuVie. It changed my life forever. I will never forget the sweetness of Emma's little perfect fingers, toes, and her soft, beautiful face. So, so infinitely precious and perfect. I am just so grateful that you WILL see her again, hold her, laugh with her, cuddle her, and raise her. I know it. I echo what Jodi said, thank you so much for allowing me to be there in your mourning to mourn with you. You are amazing and I love your family so very much. xoxo
