March 18, 2014 - Out of Nowhere

Photo: My heart aches for my daughter, today we got her baptismal certificate from our church. I love you Kassidy.

I'll admit, some days are easier than others. There are times I go months without crying about Kassidy, but this past week I have felt emotionally overwhelmed. I've cried every day this week missing her, looking at her pictures, visiting her grave, talking to her. And then we finally received her baptismal certificate. The certificate itself didn't make me upset, but rather the letter from the priest that was enclosed. It was a generic letter that is given to the recipient, highlighting the importance of baptism, etc. The last paragraph tells parents to keep it in a safe place as the child will need it for other sacraments...confirmation, marriage...and then I was reminded that my daughter would never get to do those things.

On a lighter note, our rainbow baby Steven is now 6 months old! He is sitting up, rolling over and developing his own little personality. He enjoys watching our dogs walk around the house and petting them...he spends most of the day scooting around in his walker and loves being outdoors. Here he is with his cousin, Samantha!
