love, mommy

My Darling Hanna...you are my treasure.  What can a mother possibly say in front of all these people that love and care for you this much...without falling apart. I want you to know that you are my greatest joy in life...my first and greatest pleasure and of course my first child...my first experience of life forming and growing inside my own body.  I will never forget every single moment of YOU.  You are also going to be my greatest sadness...because you left us so soon.  I know where you are and I am at peace with that.  I know you have the best babysitter a mother could ask for.  And he's free to boot!  I know how much you loved the Lord Hanna and I know you understood about Jesus and what he stood for.  I will never forget how you cried this Easter when I told you Jesus died for our sins and you said you didn't want him to die for you and I said how it was too late and that he died for all of us...because he loves us all so much. Your heart, soul and compassion for people was too much for this world...I am so proud of your heart and what you could comprehend at your tender age and what you stood for honey...I am so proud to call you my daughter...you are more...much more than I could have ever dreamed of having in a daughter. It is this amazing pride and love for you that will keep me strong and keep me going until I can join up with you in heaven.  I cannot wait to be with you...it is so hard to be without you...but I've got work to do...till every single star up in the heaven knows that I belong with you.  I will keep going on for you.  I will not give up on you honey. I will look after your brother and we will celebrate your life and keep you alive within us.  I am just so darn proud of you sweetheart...we can do this...we will do this...your life will impact the world in some form and I just want to tell you that all you need to worry about is playing and singing and doing your art and touching lives as you know so well how to do...I miss you terribly but I will be ok...I will be strong...I am your mother now and forever and don't you ever forget that.  I love you...to the moon and back baby!  To the moon and back!

butterfly fly away...

Today we released the butterfly we know as Hanna ~ we released her to her Lord and Savior.  May her short presence on earth be honored by continuing her journey and dream with love and peace.  Godspeed baby girl. We leave you with the lyrics to Hanna's favorite song by Miley Cyrus...

You tucked me in, turned out the light kept me safe and sound at night Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair Had to drive me everywhere You were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone Make a living, make a home Mustv'e been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night Scared things wouldn't turn out right You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree How you wonder who you'll be Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may and wish you might Don't you worry, hold on tight I promise you there will come a day Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away (Butterfly fly away) Got your wings, now you can't stay Take those dreams and make them all come true

Butterfly fly away(Butterfly fly away) You've been waiting for this day All along and know just what to do

Butterfly, Butterfly, Butterfly Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away

God Bless~
