Fly high my beautiful angel, you'll forever be in my heart.

I wish thing's could have been different and that I could have had more time with you, but I'm grateful for every second that you were by my side.  I miss you so much every day, it's killing me inside that I can't hold you in my arms and admire how absolutely beautiful you were or see that smile that could just light my whole world.  I miss every little thing we did together, even when you rocketed poop all over me on multiple occasions.  You made my life whole and gave me a purpose.  Words can't even express how I feel right now.  But just know you will always be in mommy's heart and mind.  I love you more than anything in this world.

She showed me what it's like to unconditionally love someone with my whole heart.  Then changed me as a person for the better and I will forever be thankful for that.  Even though our time together was short I loved every last second of it.

I'll love you forever my sweet baby girl

Rest in Peace

-Love Mommy
