Remembering..

Today has been a year since Sammie and I lost our dear friend Emma. I wanted to write something about her because I was thinking if I was her mommy I would want to know that people are remembering her and how much love and joy she brought into this world.

I remember the first day we all met..I was so happy to have someone so close by to share my adventures of raising a child with 1p36. She was so beautiful (like her mom) and I thought "my god..if I had a girl..thats exactly what she'd look like!". My mom was with me and we were all so excited to meet.

Each time we went to Vermont we met up. Kaitlyn was the parent that planned our 2nd annual conferernce and she also pretty much, single handedly started up the initial procedure for our nonprofit organization. She got the ball rolling! She was so wonderful with her peanut and a fantastic advocate!

The news of Emma's passing came suddenly...I still can't believe it. I think of them almost daily..Sammie's would be best friend and her mommy..my friend who totally understood my life, lost in a heartbeat. I can't change whats happened, I'm grateful to know both of them and share in some of Emma's memories. She was a beautiful, sweet, baby girl who is missed each day.

Both of these girls will be in our hearts always. We miss you Emma and we love you.
