The 16 months we spent together were amazing. I wasnowhere near ready for it to end. But you know, Iknow that you are in a better place. The night of theday you left, I looked in the sky and this is the image Isaw. It reminded me that you were welcomed by ourHeavenly family, those who’ve gone on before. Theyare going to love you just as much as we love youdown here. I may have been slightly annoyed when you used todeclare everything to be “mine”. I am going to missthese types of conversations:Arielle: Ma, Ma, Ma, MamaMama: What is it, Arielle?Arielle: Ma, Ma, Ma, MamaMama: Arielle, Arielle, Arielle (mocking her cadence)Arielle: This (points to phone)Mama: This is my phone.Arielle: Mine (takes phone)Mama: Really, Arielle?Arielle: Rear-ry (her pronunciation of really)Mama: ArielleArielle: Ma’am?Mama: I love youMy sweet Arielle,

Arielle,There are so many things I will missabout you: the little spot on your neckthat I would kiss; our “arguments” overelectronics; the way you loved to beoutside under the sun. But what I willprobably miss most are our late nightand early morning cuddle sessions, thequiet time in which we were able tobond. You were the brightest spotduring one of the bleakest parts of mylife, and I will forever thank God for thatand for you. You are gone much toosoon, but I wouldn’t trade the 16months we had with you for anything.You will forever be in my heart. I’ll seeyou later, Tootie. I love you, Nani

Little AngelsWhen God calls little children to dwell with Him above.We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.for no heartache compares with the death of one small child,who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold.So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.God knows how much we need them and so He takes but few,to make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try.The saddest word mankind know will always be "Goodbye".So when a child departs we who are left behind,must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
