Happy Birthday Kristin!!

Well today would have been my baby girl's 11th b-day. It's weird because with each birthday she had I always wondered if it would be her last. Now I know. But I mainly want to think about how this birthday is her best one yet. She may be eating cake and opening presents for the first time. Of course, I doubt those things go on in heaven, but who knows. The only thing I know for sure is that she's at rest with Jesus, having no more pain or suffering. And I'm sure she knows what love is and how great it is. She knows all about Jesus and how perfect everything is because of Him. I think she knows how much her dad and I love Jesus and how much her life helped our faith to be stronger. And I feel sure she knows how much we love and miss her because I tell God to let her know that all the time and how much we look forward to being together again someday soon, for eternity.

Happy Birthday sweet Kristin. I'm sure everyday in heaven is a celebration, but today we are celebrating you and how much you mean to us. Our lives are richer and better because of you. We love more, we feel more and we know God more, because of you. We miss you and love you more than any words could ever describe. You are our precious gift from God. We miss being able to see you and hold you and kiss you, but we are at peace knowing our separation is temporary. You have already achieved what we are longing for.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy
(Big Brother too)

    Suzy,
    Don't apologize for your tears. God gave us the ability to cry when we are happy and when we are sad. They are a sign of emotion, of love and caring. Thanks for visiting my blog. I tried to visit yours, but I found you don't have one. How did you find mine? God bless you.
