Friends...

Hi everyone. Long time no talk to. First of all, as you all probably know my sweet chloe would be a year old this month. Wow! I can't believe she would already be a year old. I wonder as I have always done what she is doing in heaven. I'm sure she is playing with all her other angel friends as sadly she has met so many of her mama and daddies friends babies this year. 

I have learned so much in the past year. Ecspecially in the past month alone.  I for one have learned to appreciate life so much. I had the honor of cooking dinner one night for our dear friends Becca and John. This year John found out he had cancer. I grew up with Becca and as a matter of fact Becca's mom and my dad used to be high school sweethearts. We always said growing up that we could have been one person. Becca lived right down the street from where I lived. When Becca and John got married they moved to Charlotte and since then have moved to Concord near Harrisburg. Well I normally don't like riding that far by myself but I managed to get the guts up to go by myself and I'm glad I did. I was able to do alot of thinking and praying (and crying). I thought about how unfair it was for John to have to go through such a horrible phase in life. Then I thought God wouldn't put someone through that for no reason. God has a plan...God is already showing John he can kick cancers booty and he is. Becca has been such a great mother and wife to their kids. Telling you this story was because what I was taught during that long drive and through alot of prayer was to appreciate life in general. Not to worry about where you are going to be tomorrow. I know most of you have experienced a loved one dying know what I mean when I say this without it sounding sucidial but you arent worried about tomorrow because you are already ready to meet Jesus and knowing your loved one is up in heaven waiting on you makes heaven SOOOOO much sweeter and I didn't think that was possible. Again, not trying to sound suicidial but I cant wait to get there and see Jesus standing there with my beautiful angel!

One thing I wanted to wait and mention at chloe's angelversary was how appreciative I was of so many people in my life. My friend Amanda worded it best when she said that God is bringing together so many true christians who are truely showing the meaning of God but helping others and I have some amazing friends who have done just that. Christina Caldwell, April Kapcha, and Meredith McGinnis if you could see the tears a flowing right now you would be able to see how much I appreciate you three. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Chloe. Everyone knows this of course. There isnt a day that goes by that one of you doesn't call, text or send me something on facebook to see if I am ok. You ladies are a true definition of a christian woman. I do not like that I had to gain an angel to be able to see how amazing you ladies are. I don't know if I will ever be able to show you how much I appreicate you. Christina you don't have to do those boxes but you do and you do them not only in warp speed (lol) but they are the most beautiful boxes I have ever seen. You do them generously and you do them out of the kindness of your heart. I don't seriously know at this point in my life what I would do without you ladies. I love each and every one of you. 

Again I just want to say thank you to everyone who always has a kind word or is willing to donate items for Wings for Chloe or to say that they are thinking of Chloe or Steven and I.  Everything other angel mommies has told me has been true step by step so I find encouragement for others by telling other families who have lost babies the same. I miss chloe so much. No less than I did on September 19th when we found out we lost her. Every sent I have smelled in the air, every touch of the air I feel reminds me of chloe right now. Everything seems the same as it was the beginning of September last year. This is making it extremely hard. We are doing well keeping ourselves busy. It is making me very moody though and I don't understand why because I have not experienced a mood like this since I lost her. Please continue to pray for me, our family and close friends as her birthday approaches. 0=)
