June 21, 2020 - Heather’s 35th Birthday

Happy Birthday my beautiful girl girl. I know you will have the most beautiful day in Heaven. You are surrounded by Angels and family to help you celebrate the day. I only wish that I had you here so I could celebrate this day and everyday with you. Hard to believe that you would be 35 today. I don’t know where life would have taken you had you been able to stay, but I know that you would have continued to be the amazing, loving, inspiring young lady that you always were. Beautiful both inside and out.

I came across a picture of you and I today. The tears just started falling, but I couldn’t turn away. I closed my eyes and I was there, that day so long ago. I saw your eyes still shining bright; alive and so beautiful. I’d swear I heard your laughter as I looked upon your face; that funny and contagious sound that nothing can replace. It brought back such sweet memories of how life used to be. You are the most beautiful memory I keep locked inside my heart. Each picture is kind of like a time machine that can bring you back to me; if even for a short moment in time.

One of the hardest things that has ever been required of me was the day that I had to let go as the Angels carried you up to Heaven. Now, a piece of my heart has wings. The ache in my heart that wants you back is so painful, especially today. They say that those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, and still missed and very dear. I look for your signs that you are here. You have a way of sending them when I need you the most. Thank you, my girl girl.

Please continue to watch over your little sisters. Continue to guide them and be their Guardian Angel. Let them feel your spirit near and give them peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are still there with them always. Here with us all.

Today is also Father’s Day. I know that you are also celebrating the day with your Dad in Heaven. Yes, it is still YOUR day though. ☺ I wish you were here to celebrate Father’s Day with Joel. We remember how you used to make Joel your homemade cards. We have them all. They are beautiful keepsakes. Arin has carried on your tradition of doing this. Bonnie even went with a semi-homemade card this year.

My beautiful daughter, Heather, my girl girl, my Heavenly Dancer, my Angel. I love you more than I can ever begin to express. I miss you more than is even imaginable. I wish I could hold you again and tell you I love you and Happy Birthday. We would wear purple, listen to Drops of Jupiter, laugh and silly dance together. Oh, and eat cake! I have faith that we will again, one day in Heaven. Until then, this will have to do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER! Your Mama LOVES YOU. 💜
