Our Lily Grace would be 8 months old today.. She's celebrating her birthday in heaven.. 

Her friend Zoey is modeling a Lily Grace Project hairbow.. Zoey was born just a few days before Lily... our baby should be this big.. Lily should be modeling some hairbows.. Lily should be here on Earth.. 
I wonder who is making my Lily Grace hairbows in Heaven❤❤ Happy 8 month birthday Lily.. 
I wish I could do those cute monthly pictures like other parents do.. I had it all planned out before you were born.. miss you sweet girl ❤

No words needed... :(

Happy 8 month birthday angel...

Happy Birthday to you...
I'm really missing you...
Happy Birthday sweet angel...

Love you forever sweet girl.. we all miss you so much ♥ Your brother Blake is sleeping with your seahorse tonight... every Wednesday he tells me "It's my Lily Day".. he gets so excited..

Love you baby.. tons of kisses to heaven...

Your 8 month birthday on 4/11/13

On Wednesday, April 10th I posted the following on Lily's Facebook page "Never Forget Lily Grace":  

Tomorrow-April 11th would be our Lily's 8th month birthday.. I ask everyone to "pay it forward" at least once during the day on the 29th of each month (day that she passed away).. 

I thought about asking everyone to think more of others onthe 11th of each month.. All day.. Call or write someone who is sick, grieving, stressed, worried, going through a hard time... help a neighbor.. reconnect with someone, forgive someone... pay it forward helps strangers more (which is great but we could also do something that hits closer to home)

....SOOO maybe the 11th could positively impact people in your life - friends, family, coworker, your medical professionals-someone that you actually know in some way.. Just think how much the world would change if a lot of people participated... ❤ Just a thought ♥

Happy early 8 month birthday sweet Lily.... we could call it "Love for Lily Day"... or insert your angels name.. it could be your angels day too ♥

Kind words from Baby Paige... thank you!!

The following message and pictures are from Lori Hall, mother to baby Paige.  My family and I met Paige when she received a hairbow at Kosair Children's Hospital through The Lily Grace Project.  Sweet Paige was very premature and there was a time that the doctors didn't think she would make it (when she was still in her Mommy's belly)... as her Mom says "the doctors said there is a one in a million chance that she will make it.. she is that one..".  Way to go Paige.. she just went home with her parents this week.  These pictures were taken at home.. this message brought me to tears.. how sweet: 

From her Mommy Lori:  
I think the significance of these photos goes with out me having to say it!! But here is Paige's first photo next to the beautiful Lillys that Mikie (Lori's husband) bought in memory and representation of our sweet Paige's guardian angel.... Lily Grace! This baby and her family have had such an impact on our family and have played a major role in our nicu journey w/Paige. I can only imagine the impact lily had on those who were blessed enough to actually meet this little angel before god called her home.

Are you better yet....?

My hearts a little heavy tonight.. 

This picture seems perfect... ❤❤ 

Sadly, I know many people can understand or relate to this picture ❤ 

Do you think there's a time frame for grief? A magic time frame that we are supposed to bounce back or be over it? Be ourselves again? Not cry, especially when things remind us of our angel child.. I think of them as triggers...?

If so...you've never loved someone as much as I love my children & family...

or you've never loved & lost someone like I and so many other people have...❤

I'd love to hear your thoughts..
