Smiling, laughing, singing, walking, jumping, running, tossing, hugging, kissing, crying, screaming, playing, dancing. Today she would have been 2 years old and full of life. Oh, sweet Finley. My first born. My daughter. What I would give to have her here. To see her smile. To hear her voice. What I would give for a few more minutes to hold her in my arms. To do things differently. To kiss her cheeks. To hold her hand. To rub her feet. To tell her I love her. Though her time on earth was short, her impact on me will last a lifetime.
I love you sweet baby and think of you every day. Your mom, dad and baby brother celebrate you today. Thank you for blessing our lives with yours. And, thank you, Lord, for a beautiful day to spend with our girls.

Blake and Danielle, Buddy and I worked in the yard Saturday, and talked about you on and off all day. We were praying you were enjoying the beautiful day with your three precious ones. You are demonstrating so well what healthy grieving looks like. It never stops, but it feels every moment with love and passion for what has been lost, and yet allows you to enjoy and cherish what remains with a grateful heart. We love you, Tricia
