To Emmy ~ Daddy bought you a little lamb with a pink bow. It got misplaced over the years but just like you, it is not forgotten. Mommy made this picture for you and your brother. I hope you like it. I know you're safe in the arms of the Lamb of God and will never know the pain this world can bring. I miss you. I love you.

To Dalton ~ My sweet boy, you were just a little too eager to come. I guess you wanted to join your big sister Emmy, that's okay. Mommy's not angry. I understand. I still think about how handsome you would have looked in the little suits Mommy bought for you. I bet you would have looked just like your daddy. I try to think of that instead of how fragile you looked on your birthday. I think about how you would have looked when you were all finished growing, but its okay, you were just a little too eager. I miss you. I love you.



When I took this photograph, I imagined my babies on that playground. I never got to hear them say "swing me higher, Mommy," but some how it seems they are here always.
