"I need you"

In this picture, Karleigh was tired and just wanted me to come get her and not take anymore pictures. I was taking pictures of her in a beautiful dress her wonderful Aunt Kim made. I still remember everything about that little impromptu photo shoot. She was super happy for a most of the pictures, but when she had had enough, she just wanted to be held and loved. She just needed her Mom. I stopped the picture taking and scooped her up.

I went through some old pictures of my sweet girl tonight and this one stood out to me. It depicted how I felt as I remembered, longed and ached for my darling girl. As I stare at this picture and look in her eyes, I am reminded of what she was saying to me that day. "Mom, come get me. I need you."

Tonight, I think the roles are reversed. I think I am saying the same thing to my Heavenly Angel. "Be close tonight. I need you. Someday I will be with you again my sweet girl and will hold you and won't let you go."

Tracy,
This is exactly how I feel right now. I "need" my little angel. I miss her so much. We hit the 6 month mark last week and I was really down for about a week before. I'm still down in the dumps about it. I am so grateful for the time that we were able to spend with our angels. We have beautiful daughters that will be there to give us big hugs and kisses when we leave this home for a new one with them. That day will be a sweet one. Karleigh is beautiful and so lucky to have a mom like you.
