Happy 31st Birthday, Heather!

Did you hear me say Happy Birthday at 5:19 this morning? I’m sure you did. It is a beautiful sunny day outside. The birds are singing and there is a cool breeze in the air this morning. I’ve got my purple on and your purple bow attached to my shirt. It is going to be a good day!

You are always in my thoughts. Sometimes a memory will sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheek. The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from my face. It’s the ones that fall from my heart and cover my soul. I’ve come to realize that nothing in life prepares us for losing someone we love—nothing. It’s your birthday. You would be 31. You should be here with us, my Heather.

I often look up to the sky and talk to you. What I wouldn’t give to hear you talk back. I miss your face. I miss your laugh. I miss everything about you. I miss YOU… I don’t know what else to say.

Continue to be our Guardian Angel watching over us all, especially your little sisters. Allow us to hear the rustle of your Angel wings and know that you are still with us. Continue to give us those little “signs” from you in Heaven. Know that you are forever loved more than words can express. You hold a piece of my heart that is yours alone. We are separated by death, bound together by love.

Happy Birthday, my Heather! I love you my girl girl. I LOVE YOU!

Love,
Mom
