Remembering Haleigh and Happy Mother's Day



It's hard to believe that it was 9 years ago today that we said "good-bye" to Haleigh. It was the last time that we held her in our arms. I can still remember that day so vividly...even though it's been 9 years.

A few days later we held her memorial service and then it was Mother's Day. I can remember Kim saying that she didn't feel like she was a mother and I remember telling her that even though Haleigh was no longer with us she was still a mom and no one could take that away from her. I can still see the grief that was on her face that day and how sad she was. Even though we were in mourning we still remembered Mother's Day.

Nine years later I would like to say "Haleigh, I love you and miss you always".

"Happy Mother's Day" to my mom, for being a great Mom; to my daughter, Kimberleigh, for sharing Haleigh's short life with me and of course for giving me two beautiful granddaughters; to my step-daughter, Stacy and step-daughter-in-law, Monica thank you for sharing your children with me as their Grandma Vicki; and Christine, thank you for my beautiful granddaughter, Danya. I hope you all have a great Mother's Day.

Wow, the time really flys by fast, huh? We hope that you had a wonderful Mother's Day and we know you will enjoy your Mom when you return to Arkansas. Take care and have safe travels!
