Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!! We love you so very much.
My Dear little Katie Bug Today is your first birthday. I know you are probably enjoying yourself with the angels. I know you have only the best people surrounding you, and I know that you only know happiness and love and peace. And my baby girl that's all I want you to know. I know I should be happy that you are there and so at peace, but the only thing I can think of is how pitiful it is here without you Sweetheart. I miss you so much and every day I cry for the life I don't have with you. I try to be strong, everyone says I need to be the one to hold things together. That I have to be strong for your Daddy and your brother. I try, I really do, only sometimes I fail. I start to think about all the things I don't get to see. I didn't get to see your first smile, hear your first words, see those precious eyes, or hear you say mommy or daddy. I know it sounds pitiful. I wanted to be planning your first birthday party with your grandmother's (Who would of course be arguing over what to serve and who to invite and not to invite) It would have been quite a headache, a headache I would have gladly been willing to undertake. I wanted to see you blow out your candle and eat your cake and make the biggest mess you've ever seen then I would hand you over to your father, you know how neat and clean he has to stay all the time.(haha) It would have been a wonderful time Katie. I just hope the Angels will let you know how much I wish I could hold you and tell my precious baby girl HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE BUG, MOMMY LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
"Little Angels" by Granny Annie
She never got to play or walk on this earth, but she's walking in Heaven.
I can see her walking on the streets of gold hoding Jesus's hand, her black hair bouncing in the wind.
I can hear her talking to her great-grandfather and grandmother tellling them about all the pain we went through when she went away.
No one knows the heartbreaking it is to lose a grandchild, child or neice until they experience it.
It is the most heartbreaking thing one can go through.
We love and miss you,
Love Always,
Grandma and Grandpa Dye, Uncle Chris, Aunt Crystal and Uncle Butch.
A Birthday Poem From Mommy
Dear Katie,
It's been a year now since you went away,
With so many things we never got to say.
We never heard you cry, we never saw you smile,
We only got to hold you for a short little while.
The angels came that fateful day,
and took our precious baby girl away.
We never got to do many things parents do,
The greatest of which is hear "Mommy, Daddy: I love You!"
So on this special day, please know that Mommy, Daddy and Shawn are sending you a special Birthday wish,
So Sweety, sing your song and eat your cake (be sure to make a real good mess),
For the angels love to see a happy face.
Katie, you are missed more than any words could ever express.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRECIOUS KATIE BUG!!!!
The Child I Had, Yet Never Had
so perfect, pure and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and your life
And all that it would be.
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family.
We never had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you, touch you now
And listen to you giggle.
I'll always be your mother;
He'll always be your dad.
You will always be our child.
The child that we had.
But now you're gone.. but yet you're here
I'll sense you everywhere.
You are my sorrow and my joy.
There's love in every tear.
Just know my loves goes deep and strong.
I'll forget you never-
The child I had but never had.
and yet I'll have forever.
