Precious in your little frame, you danced into my heart.
And with the grace with which you came, with grace you did depart.
You held my finger in your hand, and with it held my soul.
I fell in love with those wide eyes, one kiss and I was whole.
You caught me by surprise the way your only need was me.
And I learned I need you too, but I had to set you free.
Your monkey feet have left such an imprint in my life.
And sometimes I still hear you crying for me in the night.
You're in heaven on your birthday, and I can see you way up there,
With the cutest party dress on and a bow tied in your hair.
My baby girl died last April 15, 2017 because of congenital heart disease and did not survive the open heart surgery at the age of 1 year and nine months. Tomorrow (July 31) is her birthday....

My baby girl died 2 months ago. She also had congenital heart disease. She died while I carried her in my arms. After she passed, life has never been the same. I miss her always. There's pain in my heart all the time. God bless my little angel.
