Tonight (like every night) I'll be remembering you, my little Cecily. I'll be lighting a candle for you and all the other babies who couldn't stay on earth. And I'll be holding your sister Anna (my rainbow baby) and your brothers David and Erik extra close.
My heart hurts for all those who have lost a child, and I thank my Heavenly Father for making it possible for families to be together forever.

One Year Today
One year today. One year since you slipped away from my body and left your daddy and me broken hearted. My heart has begun to heal, but I am forever changed.
I still think of you often, several times every day. I think of how old you would be now, how you would be smiling and laughing and learning to roll over.
I think of how different our lives would be if that awful day hadn't happened. I'm a different person than the person I was a year ago. I hope that I am better and stronger for having been your mother. Some days I'm not sure, but most days, I think I am, and every day I am grateful to have carried you inside me.
I miss you so much my little baby. And I long for the day when I can hold you in my arms. But until then, I hope you know you are forever in our hearts.
We celebrated you today. We all went out to eat as a family like it was your birthday. Your brothers ate corn on the cob and drank lemonade. They loved it. I know they love you too.
We love you Cecily!
