It's been over 10 years now. You'd be a beautiful young lady at almost 19 years old. I miss you just as much now as i did when you were first called home to be with Jesus. I know you're with me in all that i do and you're watching over your younger siblings, me and your dad. I love you with every fiber of my being.

We miss you baby girl.

Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook her head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".?? My sweet little Kelsea how is it possible that you are gone. I miss you so much and i cant get you out of my head. Now your free to fly where ever you please with out the restrictions you had before. My god hold you in his arms like i used to do and show you the love that i will always have for you. I miss you, hugs and kisses to my sweet little angel. ~Mommy~
