A Day to Remember......

I want to start out first, by saying "A Day to Remember" is not the day our sweet baby Noelle went to Heaven ---- "A Day to Remember" is the day we brought our baby girl into this world, September 21, 2009. We remember it, as if it were just yesterday. Seven long months later, she is with Him. He is taking care of her, watching over her, and letting her watch Baby Einstein anytime she wants :)

I say it was seven long months, instead of seven short months because of all the experiences we went through in that short amount of time. We learned more about life, responsibility and compassion for others in those seven months, than we had learned in the past seven years. It's amazing how something so small can have such a huge impact on two people (and of course other friends and family). Our lives revolved around Miss Noelle --- she was THE center of attention in our life, and will continue to be forever, even though she's not physically with us. We talk to her everyday, tell her "GOOOOOOD MORNING SWEETIE, we love you!" And we talk to her during the day, "Hi honey, hope you're playing w/ all the other babies up there." We talk to her at night, "Nigh Night punkin, we love you."

I can hear Patty every morning Noelle and I walked in the door at Empty Nest Daycare ..... "Goooood Morning button ---- how are youuuuu?!?!" Or "Hey - there's baby Noelle --- ah you're getting sooooo BIG!!!" And she was right :) Noelle was an excellent eater ..... she was NOT picky to say the least :)

Ever since I got the call that Friday morning, April 23, I have sooo wanted to ask myself WHY ME?? WHY US?? I DON'T GET IT??? But really .... we wouldn't wish this tragedy on anybody. Not even our worse enemy. If it wasn't us .... it'd be somebody else --- and if we can take the pain away from another family, we'll do so. Even though Ryan and I both may have a small family, one thing we do know is they all have HUGE hearts. We also couldn't ask for better friends. The overwhelming support from both is what has got us this far ---- and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

To our Precious Piece of Heaven, our daughter, and our Angel ---- we love you so very much.

Mommy & Daddy
