Cate

Dear Cate,
Today, two years ago you left us to go be with your brother,Cole.  I think you missed your wombmate and today I miss you!  I miss our routine in the hospital, your heartbeat checks, your bum shots to the Doctors, and your movements. I miss what should have been and the could have been.

You were a fighter, Cate and held on until the infection consumed your prefect tiny body. After Daddy turned off the lights for the night and headed home I would talk to you and pray with all my might that you could hang on for another six weeks until they would remit us for the remainder of the pregnancy.  Cate,  thank you for fighting a fight that should not have been! I knew from the beginning that you would be the a tough little girl. 


Happy 2nd Angel Day, Cate! We will celebrate your day as a family today.  We will celebrate your little life and how loved you are.  We will celebrate the impact it has made on a lot of lives.  Most of all we will remember what a fighter your were and how thankful we are for you.

Please along with Cole continue to watch over us!

Sending angel kisses and Happy Angel Day wishes!


I love and miss you,
Mommy

Sam

Dear Sam,
You won't remember today but I will.
You won't remember how it snowed last night and how your eyes lit up when you saw it but I will.
You won't remember at 8:00 am we were outside shoveling the four inches of snow off the grass with your little red shovel but I will.
You won't remember walking up the path to Grandpa Joe and Grandma's house but I will.
You won't remember looking for fat worms on the way but I will.
You won't remember us splashing in huge puddles until our feet were soaked but I will.
You won't remember being the only people at the park, sliding down the snow covered slides and landing in the snow that we had just pushed off all while laughing  but I will.
You won't remember us taking our shoes off when we got home and our socks were soaked but I will.
You won't remember the cuddles while we had with warm milk to warm up but I will.

Thank you, Sam for a awesome morning! It will be one I remember for the rest of my life.

I will always love you,
Mommy
