My Dearest Granddaughter:

Today, Tues., Dec. 29/09, is the 2nd anniversary of the last day that I was so blessed in sharing my love with Faith; that being Christmas Day, Tues., Dec. 25/07. Then you left two weeks to the day, Tues., Jan. 8/08, with no warning to accompany Great-Grandma. It feels like yesterday as time has stood still as we forever endure the loss of you sweetheart.

Great-Don-Don joined you on Sun., Nov. 8/09. I prepared him to be reunited with you, Great-Grandma and 3rd cousin, baby Daniel, a few days before he passed in order to assist him on his journey. I knew that you'd be waiting with your little arms opened wide to offer hugs as you did with everyone you knew and loved or didn't even know.

On Fri., Dec. 25/09, your little baby sister, Lylah, experienced her first Christmas. She had no idea of the concept but sure was a social butterfly and loved the excitement of everyone around her. Like you honey, she thrived in the company of your family and would not go to bed. You, however, loved your sleep. It was a long day and night for Mommy and Daddy, like Christmas Eve night with your big brother, Brogan, who stayed up late all excited waiting for Santa. They wouldn't have had it any other way. Your Mommy and Daddy struggled through this second Christmas without their little girl, Faithie, and made it very warm and festive thus enabling Lylah to experience her first Christmas full of fun memories with them, Brogan, Nana, Dja Dja, Great-Auntie Maureen, Uncle's Chris, Shea, Sandy, Terri, baby Reid and myself.

I've been praying to God for little signs that you're all together and watching over us and then your Mommy gave me their 5" x 7" family picture at the last minute before I left on Christmas night. What a Christmas miracle He presented to me. I am forever grateful and reverent in the knowledge that He gave to us through "Little Faith" to have Faith". Your sweet, precious memories will always remain constant, guiding me through life. Your beauty, personality, laughter and strength of character will forever fill my heart with love and pride.

Angel Faith, I love you and miss you more and more every day, month and year. It never gets any easier just longer without you baby. The star that once shone so brightly in my heart dulled. Another star has since been lit, equally as bright, to remind us all of you and your promised gift of love.

Lovingly Devoted to Faith and Her Memory...

Eternal Love: Grandma XXOO
