I am so sorry for your loss. Some times things happen and we'll never know why. Know that your Kaleigh Hope is in a better place, watching down on you. She will forever be her mommy's little princess and her daddy's pride and joy. As a mother who has been there herself, please know that this time is very hard, but it will get easier. Think good thoughts of your beautiful princess and know that you will meet her again one day. For now, she's in Heaven, surrounded by the rest of our angels. If you ever need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to contact me.

As a mother myself, I can't even fathom what you must be going through. Just know that God doesn't hand us anything we can't handle, and your Kaleigh must have been so special that he needed her up in heaven with him. Just know that God is taking care of her now.

Ask My Mom How She Is

My Mom, she tells a lot of lies
she never did before
From now until she dies,
she'll tell a whole lot more
Ask my mom how she is
and because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how she is,
She'll say "I'm alright"
If that's the truth, than tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how she is,
she seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see,
nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping"
For Gods sake Mom, just tell the truth
just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how is she
she'll lie and say she's fine
I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
we'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mom
with all the lies you told!"
