Goodbye for now Miss Alexa

Nine weeks....a lot can happen in nine weeks. One thing certainly can & did happen here in that amount of time. This family fell hard for a tiny angel whose presence pervaded every corner of this house. This little spirit, namely Alexa, will have a place in this home as long as there is a breath left in my body. We will miss her forever, every bit of her:

The sounds of her cries

The smiles she brought to every face who looked upon her

The sweet gentleness of her tiny face as she would nuzzle close

The pure delight she showed during her little baths

Her soft lips as they left their little "kisses" on our cheeks

Those eyes, those giant sapphire blue eyes

The drop to the knees in prayer that Kirsten would do at the very sound that she may be leaving

Watching Aaron sweetly kiss her goodbye every morning before school

Josh's rush to soothe her every cry and wipe every tear

The dent she made in Leah, a girl made of steel

The comfort she brought to a grown man's heart

And for me, the very smell of that sweet baby, the scent of an angel, made my life complete even if for only nine weeks


We love you Miss Alexa. May Heavenly Father watch over you & keep you safe until you return. I know someday you will, even if only for a season. I can feel it deep in my heart.
