It is always hard to hear of such young babies leaving us. We always ask ourselves " WHY? ". With all the criminals in this world why do we have to say bye to the good people, the people who wouldn't hurt a fly or commit a crime, the people who's life has just begun. It is something I will never understand. God works in mysterious ways and he must have a special reason to need MaKayla with him.
I know it's been a month and 8 days since her passing and I am sure the pain is just as...

Sue, I just had to put this in here for you. There is not a day that goes by that Alexis isn't telling somebody that "My baby MaKayla is in heaven with Jesus. Jesus loves her." Isn't it awesome how things are seen through a child's eyes? Just know that we love you and MaKayla so very much!!! You and I have grown so close because of MaKayla. That is truly a blessing! I love you Tee Tee (San).

It's been one month today since you left us MaKayla. I miss you so, so much but I know you are better off and that you are safe in God's arms. I often sit and wonder how you would look and how big you would be now. I find myself crying everytime I think about it but I have to remind myself that God makes no mistakes. As bad as it hurts, I know God had work for you to do in Heaven and now more than ever, I am determined to see you again when God calls me home. I look forward to the day when I...
