Sad Isn't Bad

Today we read the book "Sad Isn't Bad".   We miss our little Lizzy.
We are learning to live with a missing piece in our hearts.

Ruby Catherine is a rock star.  

I took out Nette's weave- and we celebrated a moment during Mustache May.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! We miss you~

Forget-You-Not

We had a party at Castle Park in honor of our Elizabeth

Eric and his friends played music-  One of Lizzy's favorite things.

Forget-You-Not

Madison Elizabeth Castle

I had  looked for you, waited for you.

I just didn’t know this was your part

A huge role you are playing baby girl

Although your time on stage was short

I found you Elizabeth, 

My wise Oak Tree

Now, with your help,

I am finding me.

You are helping me find my missing parts 

and making me complete

Showing me the best things of life

honoring what’s most sweet

Living life with No Regrets

Making the most of each day

Elizabeth is printed on my heart

And there you always will stay.

Reminding me to live in the moment

To soak up the light when it shines

To brave the darkness, allow the hurt

This little little light of mine~

You’re teaching me to honor my dreams

Your light within burns with hope

Reminding me that Jesus redeems

It is only through Him we can cope

To make the most of what we have

To honor each moment we’re given

You bring out the best in our family

You are Peace, Love and Forgiveness

With the ones I have now, I will treasure my time 

Your memories I will keep alive

Knowing one day, there will be no more pain,

When Jesus will finally arrive.

When living seems too painful 

Will you bring me the gifts that I need?

After the rain comes the Son

To Him we are blessed to concede.

Jesus Lives. 

My baby does too.

With me for just a short while,

You came and brought your gentle peace.

Your gift makes all the pain worthwhile.

I know now, the question I wondered…

Is it better to have loved and lost?

Absolutely yes Elizabeth!

You are worth the cost.

Sweet Dreams my child.

My little girl.

You are in my heart to stay.

We’ll be together again, this I know.

For God has planned it this way.

Love, Mama

Heart Shattered

Shock, fear, deep raw pain is in my heart today.
Sweet baby Elizabeth died in her sleep last night.

I can't believe it is real.  My baby is gone.

Heaven help me.  Please send Angels.
