Skyler Sue’s Gift

Skyler Sue’s Gift

Today we celebrate Skyler Sue’s 3rd birthday. The tradition has always been to receive gifts on our birthday. But on Skyler’s birthday, she gave us the most amazing gift — her being born as our daughter. Skyler’s life was a great gift to us, her life was the reason we know what true LOVE is.

We are thankful for the love that you taught us, and for choosing us to be your family. We love you and miss you very much, and how much we wish we could hold you again. Even though your life was short, the gift of love that you left us, will always be a part of our lives.

Happy Birthday Sweat Pea and thank you for your wonderful gift!

My Dearest Skyler Sue,

 

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet princess. Today we don’t only celebrate the day of your birth, but we also celebrate the day you entered our hearts.

 

I miss you so much. I really wish I can kiss you right now and cradle you in my arms again.  Even though you are not physically with us, I know you will always with be a part of us. I still remember the first time I saw you and heard your voice – I was very happy and excited, because at that moment I know I have the greatest achievement in my life – and that is being your mother. I will always be proud to have you as my daughter. I love you Skyler Sue and thank you for choosing us to be your family.

Happy First Angelversary Skyler Sue

Mother’s day 2012, Skyler Sue gained her angel wings. It’s been one year now since our baby girl became an angel. To celebrate Skyler Sue’s first angelversary, we decided to release 24 butterflies by her grave on Mother’s day. Releasing butterflies was a symbolic event to us. Just like butterflies, Skyler Sue also gained herself a pair wings and became one of God’s angels. Happy Angelversary Sweet Pea, we love you and miss you.

Birthday Letter from Grandma

Birthday Letter from Grandma

Today March 13, 2013,  is Skyler’s 10th month Angelversary. During this time, it’s always nice to look back and remind ourselves of the great things Skyler did for us. One of our greatest reminder is this beautiful letter written by Skyler’s Grandma Sue on her 1st birthday (February 9, 2013). We hope you can also find comfort through Grandma Sue’s words, especially to all other grieving families of angels out there.

Happy Birthday Skyler!

When your child is born, naturally you look forward to years and years of birthday celebrations.  When Skyler was born and we eventually learned of her diagnosis, we were hopeful that we’d be able to spend a handful of birthdays with her.  At the very least, maybe we’d get 1-2 years worth of birthday celebrations with her.

New Life In Skyler’s Garden

Hanging plant where the birds made their nest It’s been a little over two months now since our little angel passed away. Whenever we think of her, we remind ourselves of the great things Skyler taught us. She taught us to live everyday like it is our last, not waste a moment with those we love and appreciate all the things we have in life. And every day around us, we see little reminders of Skyler, including her beautiful little garden. Her garden continuously blooms and attracts wildlife. (more…)

It’s been exactly one month since Skyler Sue passed away. She would be four months and 4 days old by now, we can’t help but wonder how she would be like if she was alive today. We cope with the grief of losing her by keeping ourselves busy everyday. When we’re not at work, we occupy ourselves by doing some house chores, driving around town, playing with Skyler’s canine sisters, or adding more to her little memorial garden.
