Laila, Not a day goes by that I dont think about you. Im sure you already know this though, sometimes at work I feel like you are their. Another little girl hopes she can meet you in heaven, because of all the stories I have told her about you. I dont think that I have been the same nurse since you have left us. Without you their something is missing. You were my favorite girl and now my favorite angel. I miss you lil angel, everytime i look at the stars i think of you. I am sure you are the life of the party up their in heaven, keep shining angel..miss you.

Snow princess,
Everyday I think of you and everyday it gets harder and harder to see that I can't hold you in my arms or kiss your face.I know I am being selfish but you were my bestfriend and no one will ever take your place in my heart.No one see the pain I feel day by day and I'm sorry for crying everyday, it's not your fault baby, you never did anything wrong. Mommy just misses you so much, you and your sister. You know that me and daddy miss you.Your sisters and brother do too, one day they will understand that you are in a much better place now and one day I will understand too.I promise to make you proud of me, I know I did alot of things that made you cry, I should of been there all the time for you and I'm sorry.Always remember that I love you deeply my lil snow princess and we will be together again.
Love,Mommy

Laila was a blessing. I can picture her now in heaven running around with all of the other little angels. I have been a nurse for over two years and I have never loved a patient as much as I loved that lil laila. I could tell stories for days about her..their were times we stayed up all night reading, watching movies, blowing bubbles, or just rubbing her tummy. I am glad she is no longer suffering, but I also miss her dearly. Sometimes I go into work waiting to hear her yell out my name, but i hear you in my dreams sweet girl. Alma, If you ever need anything or just want to hear a funny story or have one to share I am here. Thank you for allowing us to meet such a blessed and wonderful individual. She will always be in my heart and one day I will see her again in heaven. All my love to you lil angel with beautiful pink wings..Shine on star!

Baby Laila,
You have touched my heart in a very special way. I was there when you passed and it broke my heart. I will never forget you, you will always have a special place in my heart. I know you
suffered so much here on earth but now you suffer no more, I picture you picking flowers with your twin in heaven, no tubes, no needles and no pain. I see you smiling and it make me cry. I know you have people here who will always miss you very much. I have thought of you every day since that night. Your such a special angel. You have given me a new outlook on life, thank you Baby Laila. I send my warmest hugs and prayers to your family.
