Happy Birthday Saria

Today my little girl would be 7! I can hardly believe it. I have felt so many emotions today. I smile when I think about what all she would be doing and saying and getting into! (I can only imagine what she would be getting into.) I am sure she would be like Sage and think she was the boss. Her , Sage, and her cousins would be fighting, but at the same time, not getting enough of each other! And what good friends her and Sage would end up being. (I know I would be lost without my sisters! )I cry when think of her short little life. Everything she had to go through. She was such a little fighter! She was a good little girl! I feel so blessed to have had her. She has taught me so much. I look at life so differently now. I rejoice for her. She is well now. She is spending another Birthday with Jesus. How AWESOME would that be! She is running and playing. Things she would have never been able to do here on earth. Many ask me how I could do all this. Losing a child is the hardest thing I think I could ever go through, but at the same time I have never felt closer to my savior. He held me and my family through the whole thing. I wish sometimes people could live my life and see how truly amazing our God is! There is no way I could have ever made it without him right there. I am truly blessed to have been Saria's mother! I love and miss you little girl!!!!!

I just want you to remember, Saria has a special mom who was such an amazing witness to so many people. You humbled me, and how wonderful to know that you didn't have to tell Saria "goodbye" just "see you later." Love You!

Words cannot express how much I admire you for how you are such a great witness to others through such an experience. Your testimony has truly touched so many lives in such a wonderful way. I have so many great memories of Saria that still make me laugh (She was truly the first baby Chad held and the thought of those two together in my living room recliner still makes me laugh!) I love you!
