Hi Baby, today is your birthday, you would be 24 today. It's raining today, as it did yesterday on your Dad's birthday, and I couldn't help but think it is tears from Heaven. We have certainly cried our share of tears since the day you left us and became an angel, how I wish we could bring you home. I try to be strong for your Mom, Dad, and Marie, I know you would want that. I remember the first time I saw you, you were so precious! I was always the proud Auntie/Mom, bragging about you always! I can't put to words how much I miss your hugs, your jokes ( even with your Dad's sense of humor!), your sunny smiles, and hearing you say "I love you Aunt Lisa!" like you always did, even when I was on the phone with your Mom. I love you times nothing, the saying you shared with the people special to you. I found a poem for you today. Here it goes'

Our wonderful family

is like a candle

that reflects its joy

within our hearts

And it's like a fire

that keeps us

close and warm

no matter how long

we're apart.

I'd give anything

to be with you today

But atleast we'll be together

in ways that will never stop

brightening up our days

Each time I think of you,

I promise to send you

a kiss on the wind,

And I promise I'll be counting the days

until I can see you again

I love you times nothing sweetie, forever and a day.
