Just Another Day

I can hardly believe how quickly our little Haylee's birthday is approaching. It seems like it was just yesterday, and at the same time it seems like it was so long ago, that I held her in my arms for the first time... and admired every detail of her delicate little face. I remember so vividly listening to her innocent coos, and watching her precious hand grasp tightly around my finger as though she knew she was safe. I was so grateful that the Lord had blessed us with another beautiful and healthy baby girl. I sometimes wonder what we did wrong. Were we not worthy? We promised to love our precious Haylee unconditionally and sing her sweet songs every night; to watch over her and protect her. I try to remind myself, that really these are selfish tears we cry. Our beautiful angel is filled with love and fulfillment beyond our comprehension, in a place our earthly minds cannot even begin to understand the elaborateness of. She will always be watched over and feel safe, with Our Father by her side, in a place known as paradise. She will never be subjected to any kind of earthly harm and never have to feel pain. Our time with Haylee was all too brief, and as unfair is it might seem, we will go on loving her forever... and meet her each night in our dreams.

Thank you Lord for our other little angel , Rylee, who continues to brighten each and every one of our days. She has a way of making everyday worth living, and bring a sense of purpose to our lives. Watching her laugh and play is so incredible and rewarding. Her angelic smile and curious eyes bring so much joy to us as we watch her explore and navigate through life. We truly do treasure every second we spend with her. Tomorrow we are going back to Disney on Ice... She had so much fun watching all of the princesses and her favorite Disney characters. Grammy is here visiting, so after going to get yet another "beautiful dress", she talked my mom into getting tickets for the show tomorrow (it didn't take much convincing). Rylee loves her "Ya Ya", so much and can hardly contain herself when she comes to visit.

I am so grateful to be one of God's children, and for His continued love. There is NO love greater than that of The Most High. Thank you Lord for my wonderful family and supportive friends, and for all of Your awesome promises.
