A Not so Happy Birthday
Seven years ago, I sat holding my firstborn daughter marveling at the wonder of it all. Chloe would have turned seven today. We would have had a party. We would have celebrated with hugs and kisses and presents and family. Today, instead, we let balloons float up to the sky in hopes of her "catching" them. We stood around her grave with heavy hearts wondering "why?". Someday we will know. We will know exactly the reason behind her short short life, and we will say, "that is good". And it will be. Because He tells us that ALL things will be beautiful in their time. Even this.

praying for you, sweet friend.
I love you Steph!
I thought about you ALL day today. I even told Jeff what today was. We both remember the day we got the call. Just complete shock that something so horrible would happen to such great people.
I am so sorry that y'all had to go through all that. You are such a strong person. You are in our prayers, Steph!!
We love y'all.
I'm sure it was a tough day. Definitely sending you huge hugs.
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Your new page is so cute!!!
I remember the day she was born, like it was yesterday. So clear in my mind. She was a beautiful baby, our first little girl in the family. We loved her so much and miss her terribly.
Praying now, late but praying.
