Hey Haley ! Just laying here tonight not being able to sleep. For some crazy reason you´ve been brought up lately in my conversations. I thought about you while reading about Phil Robinson passing and how much he meant to his family. Knowing how much you meant to my family it made me think of you. We never got to talk or hangout but I´ve always heard so much. My awesome momma is always thinkin about you and our family never forgets all the memories they had with you. Not much makes me tear up but reading my mom´s messages to you really gets to me. I hope you´re having a blast and looking over everyone. One day we will have a great time catching up. Until then watch over us and your family

I remember the night well! Soooo very sad!!! When I got the horrible phone call, I called Mom and picked her up. When we got to the waiting room it was just too unbearable to see your pain. I really felt it along with you. I remember sitting on the floor at your feet just holding on to you, not saying a word. I knew it was easier just to feel someone's support instead of hearing their words. And then the doctor came in the room and we knew that she lost her battle for life. We each had our turn to sit with you and Haley and grieve of our loss!!! I'm soooo sorry for your beautiful daughter!!! Also for Samantha's sister, Teresa's granddaughter and all the family. Haley is truly an angel now and with Papa, Alain and her other loved ones in Heaven. I love ? you Karen!

My baby girl,



I am still missing you so very badly every day. I know I will always feel this way, I always hope I will wake up from this nightmare. But the time keeps on moving ahead and I hate it, I can't stand it. I don't want more time to go by, I want it to go back to when you are here with me. I love you so very much. I know I need help with this and should have gotten it a long time ago, but I just keep telling myself if someone can't bring you back then they can't help me. Anyway.... I think it helps to write this because then I get it out of my head but no one has to look at me like I'm pitiful. Maybe you can help me, keep showing me that you are near, like when you give me pennies still all the time. Or the signs you show me keep doing that for mommy, it makes me feel good. Like the ladybugs. I love you and miss you so much. Mommy's little baby... driving her crazy... XOXOXO

Hey there sweetie. I was just sitting around thinking about you and that cute little smile of yours, and when you would come into Rainbow and run towards all that candy. You would just giggle. I can't say enough how greatly missed you are. Please do me a favor and give my Pam a huge hug for me, and tell her I miss her so much. I better go, but I just wanted to say hello. I will talk to you later.

Hi Haley,

I was just sitting here thinking of you. Sandy and I have made a beautiful photo book of you, Paige and Samantha. I've found so many pennies lately. I am keeping them all to put in the pond at nana's. We Miss you you alot Haley. It's gettng harder to try not to think of you but it's almost been a year since you have been gone. It dont even seem like that long though. I saw your mommy not to long ago by the way. She looks so heart broken and sad. I look at her and I see you. I do think she is having a hard time but I know she is trying to get through each day at a time. Well "Angel" I got to go. I LOVE YOU!!!



Love,

Miss Haley,

I have been bad and not written you a note in a while. That doesn't mean I don't think about you everyday and miss that HUGE smile! I found "another" penny in my office yesterday....and it was in a weird spot that only YOU could have dropped it in....I just know all the pennies that are appearing around here are from YOU! Thanks for that "little rock" too! I hope you can touch your Mommy's heart to help her with her sadness! Haley she is honestly trying SO hard to be strong, but without her "little princess" life just doens't make sense to her anymore! She has left McKinney Painting and now I'm not only sad cause I can't see you....I don't get to spend 8-9 hours a day with her....! But, I know I can always go to the house to see her and we can talk about all your silliness and miss that Big Ol'Smile, together.....I just want you to know that I would take all her pain and hurt away in a heartbeat if I could, but can't. No one can....but maybe with the stress of work gone she will be able to really deal with the loss of her Baby and get some much needed rest! I'm SO thankful I got to know you....and appreciate all your special gestures! Miss You Very Much and Will NEVER forget that smile!

Love,

TerriCloth

Hi sweetie, Mommy misses you so much. It is still so unbearable every day. I want to see you so bad, and grab you and hug you and kiss you. I love you so very much, and every day I want to wake up from this nightmare and have you back with me. Thank you for all the pennies you are leaving me, it makes me feel good when you do that. I hope Miss Pam is giving you lots of hugs and kisses, I'm sure she is. I know you must be so beautiful as an angel, you were so beautiful as Mommy's little angel. I think of you every moment of every day and every time I wake up in the night. When I am asleep I hope sometimes not to wake, because then I won't know you are gone. I miss your little hands and fingers, and your cute little feet. I miss when we would lay together at bedtime to read stories and you would catch me skipping places. I would give anything in the world to have you back sweetie, I miss you so very much. Sissy misses you too, a whole whole lot. She thinks of you ALL the time, and makes reminders about you. Our world has definitely been turned upside down without you, and for me it has been smashed to pieces. I hope somehow you can find a way to help Mommy know you are ok. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART FOREVER.

Haley Bug -

Couldn't sleep and thought I would talk to my little princess. Sorry I haven't written lately, but things have just been so busy!! I have been trying to help your Mommy and Jerry finish the new house and help them with the wedding. It just doesn't feel right to be doing these things without you. But I know you will be there in spirit. And I know you will be smiling down on your Mommy and Jerry on their big day. I know how comforting it is to you, when you see your Mommy smile. She tries real hard, but she just misses you so very much!!!! Tell Pam that we miss her too. I KNOW that the two of you are together and she is taking good care of you. I Love You!

Princess Haley,



Mommy loves and misses you so much. I have been trying very very hard not to cry so much. I know you don't like that when I cry. I just miss you so much and am having such a hard time accepting that my little angel is gone. I hope so much that you are having fun and that you have no worries or fears. I love you with all my heart and will miss you forever.

Haley...



I know that you are just fine where you are, and that you couldn't be happier but it is hard for us here to understand that. We want you here, your mommy wants you here. You are such a sweet girl, so full of energy and laughter. A lot like your mom. I am constantly thinking about her, hoping that she is doing the best as she can. But how is she supposed to be doing. What is good? I think it is so amazing that she even comes to work each day. I think about you and your mom all the time. My Grandfather had to leave me and my family too not to long ago. He is where you are now. If you see him tell him I love him so much. We miss you and love you.

My Haley Bug -

Just thinking about you and your sweet little face. I miss that beautiful, infectious smile that would light up a room, and that silly little giggle that went right along with it. I miss your whirling and twirling, flipping and flopping, hopping and jumping, and running and swinging. I miss you being mad at me -and growling because I wouldn't let you do exactly what you wanted! I miss our days of playing with playdough while sitting on the barstools at the kitchen counter.

But most of all, I miss the light in your mommy's eyes - now that you're gone!

Phoenix has gotten so big.... I wish you could be here to play with him. I see a lot of you in him sometimes! He has your same zest - goes full force with everything he does, and the same growl when things don't go his way. He also has your stubborness and persistence that probably will eventually break me!! But I wouldn't have things any other way.



I Miss You.... My Little Princess!!!!

Miss Haley,

As silly as it may seem, I just feel I need to write "to you" today. It's the first day of school and all I can think of is YOU and your famous "SCHOOL IS STUPID" theory! I know you really did like school and your friends and all...it just wasn't fun getting up in the morning for it, huh? I'm SO proud of your Mom today. She's being very strong, but don't let that fool you....that hole in her heart won't ever be filled! Well maybe eventually she will get all those memories in there and it might help, but she is going to miss you forever. I do know one thing....your Mom loves you VERY MUCH and I know she knows YOU love her VERY MUCH! Some folks don't even have that. I'm thankful I did get to know you, though. YOU made lots of people smile and have made a special place in many hearts! I'm sure your smile is making heaven a much brighter place than even before.

Still loving and missing you,

"TerriCloth"!

My Baby Haley,



Mommy misses you so much. Everyone tells me that you would not want me to be so sad and crying all the time, but I am having such a hard time. It hurts so much that I can't see your pretty smile, or kiss your chubby little cheeks. I would give anything to hear you laugh or to be able to hold you tight. Mommy hopes you are having fun with Pam, I hope you two are together. I know you both love each other very much, and I know she will protect you. I found a poem the other day, that made me think you had meant for me to find it.





My Mom Is A Survivor





My Mom is a survivor,

or so I've heard it said.

But I can hear her crying at night

when all others are in bed.



I watch her lay awake at night

and go to hold her hand.

She doesn't know I'm with her

to help her understand.



But like the sands on the beach

that never wash away...

I watch over my surviving mom,

who thinks of me each day.



She wears a smile for others...

a smile of disguise!

But through Heaven's door I see

tears flowing from her eyes.



My mom tries to cope with death

to keep my memory alive.

But anyone who knows her knows

it is her way to survive.



As I watch over my surviving mom

through Heaven's open door...

I try to tell her that angels

protect me forevermore.



I know that doesn't help her...

or ease the burden she bears.

So if you get a chance, go visit her...

and show her that you care.



For no matter what she says...

no matter what she feels.

My surviving mom has a broken heart

that time won't ever heal.





Haley, I can't stop wishing and hoping this will all be a terrible nightmare. I know it's not, and it is killing me. I love you so very much and just want to be your mommy every day. Please be patient with mommy while I will have plenty more tears. I know you don't want me to cry...Mommy will try hard to be strong. I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU SO MUCH WITH ALL MY HEART.



Love, Mommy
