8 years ago our lives changed when we welcomed our baby girl into our lives. Emma is so special to our family and we make sure to keep her memory alive everyday. I love how our boys know Emma and talk about her often. I know they don't fully understand what happened to their sister who they never got to meet but they know she is their sister and that she is with Jesus. I love how little things remind them of Emma, seeing a heart or a cross or an Angel statute they always say her name.
It's tradition to take balloons to the cemetery and let a few go up to Heaven. Thad asked me today "how do the balloons know how to get to Heaven? How do they know the way but we can't go there unless we die?" Oh my sweet boy, I wish we could visit Heaven for a day but unfortunately it just doesn't work that way. We made cupcakes and each boy picked out a carebear for her.
Thad is so sweet. He put his arms around his brothers today. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. It's heartbreaking and heartwarming to see them here sitting on her bench.
Happy 8th birthday baby girl. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about her. She is on our minds a lot throughout the day. We make the best out of a terrible situation and choose to live for Emma. Hug your babies a little tighter today because you never know what the day will bring ❤️.
