Two Years Today. I remember you, Liz. Always. Every second of every day.
| Kate |
Hi Liz. I was thinking about you and remembering how much you loved Christmas and Thanksgiving. When all the family got together and there was music and food. It was such a wonderful time and I know those were the moments you enjoyed the most throughout the year. You never asked for anything and what you wanted was minor. You taught lessons year round that people hoped to learn during the holiday's about being kind. You didn't need the holidays for that. You were always about those things. That is who you were. And this second Christmas and Thanksgiving without you are hard to bear for all of us because we miss you so much. But your kindness has lasted in my heart. You are always with me. Sometimes I can't bear the thought of you not being here and it doesn't make sense to me. It is like that horrible day never happened but reality hits me and I remember. I do remember that you are in Heaven and you are waiting for your family ever so patiently.
I love you and Merry Christmas.
I love you and Merry Christmas.

Happy Halloween, sweet girl!! Or should I say Hippie Halloween??? You were so patient that last Halloween morning, your last Halloween '06, when I painted your face with flowers and peace signs and donned your headband and braids. I could hardly decorate any more because you would take all the decorations for yourself into your room. You truly enjoyed all the silly, fun things about life. Who knew? Who knew, baby girl, that I would never again have the privilege of helping you enjoy each and every successive halloween?? When I think of our life and time together I can't breathe. So many questions and still no answers. Life is joyless without your footsteps behind me, beside me, near me. I miss you so much and will forever love you.

Night after night I dream you are there with me
Alive and carefree
But it is when I reach out to touch you
that my hand falls silently
And I realize I can no longer feel you
in this physical world, let alone my dreams
but one day we will be together again
Yes, I do believe one day we will see each other again,
I miss you Lizzie.
Alive and carefree
But it is when I reach out to touch you
that my hand falls silently
And I realize I can no longer feel you
in this physical world, let alone my dreams
but one day we will be together again
Yes, I do believe one day we will see each other again,
I miss you Lizzie.

Once Upon A Time
Not So Long Ago
Each Morning You Would Stand
And Grace My Bedroom Door
The Mornings Come Again
These Days As Time Goes By
Another Dawn Does Break
I Cry Another Cry
I Stare In Deepest Sorrow
And Gaze Upon That Door
I Stare And See Just Darkness
Your Face I See No More
I Miss You Liz!!!

I will never forget how your eyes would light up with sheer joy and love. And how you had a smile for everyone you saw as we shopped together with one of your baby dolls carefully tucked into the seat of the cart. Or how you gently touched people's arms to give them a warm and friendly smile and received one in return. I remember how you would stand in awe of your newly decorated bedroom and bathroom and your smile told me you loved it. I remember how, when I was busy in another room, you would come look for me and peer around the corner as if you were checking to see if I was okay. My heart overflowed when you gazed at me with sparkling eyes and a smile. When we made dinner, I remember we would keep a bowl of grapes next to the stove and you would stand there and open your mouth like a baby bird and I would pop a grape in. I remember tucking you in at night and giving you a hug and kiss on the cheek and telling you how much I loved you. And then returning after you drifted off to sleep to see your beautiful face and kiss your cheek again. You were my shadow, my constant companion and the most joyful, genuinely kind and loving person I have ever known. I miss you, Lizzie. I don't know how I will go on without you.

god I wish I could hold you

I remember Lizzie when you used to get so excited at Christmas. When you opened your present and found clothes it was so funny the way you tossed them aside in frustration because you wanted another baby doll. You cared about those baby dolls so much. If they had been real you would have had 50 children. You had such love for those dolls. Your compassion was immense for them and for the people in your life. Always wanting to take care of others and make others feel special.
