~Today my precious Daughter Nikki would have turned 35~


We are given many precious gifts as we go through life.
Some we are allowed to enjoy for a long time...
others only briefly.
But each gift has the power to change and enrich us,
to make us better human beings.
Nikki you were that precious gift...
to me, your sisters and
all who loved and cared for you.
You will never be forgotten!
Until I see you again sweetie
Love, Mama

I am so sorry some people can be so thoughtless. Just read over all the other beautiful posts and remember them. You will ALWAYS have a beautiful daughter Nikki.

I do not believe we ever 'get over' the loss of someone dear, whether by death divorce or even just distance. We are created to grieve, Jesus wept, and we are told that God keep our tears in a bottle. I have no real idea what that means except our grief is very precious to Him and He will NEVER tell us to move on. Of course you have moved on, but you choose to remember a little more deeply on this special day.

I am sorry. I do not get it when someone makes anonymous comments.
Hugs.

What a wonderful, loving tribute to your daughter. God gave us memories so we could have roses in December, and our loved ones at any time.

Mary Dear:
Her life was short and precious and NO you do NOT need to move on!!! Angels are sent to us in the form of children and their Earthly visits can be too short.
Yeah for Nikki's life!!!
Love & Hugs
Your Friend

Oooh I like what Carole Anne said!!!

Mama said...

Your sweet Nikki looks like my Rachel. At least I think so from the one picture I see on your blog.

Daughters are angels twice, once here and then again forever.

God bless you today and always.

Our children Mary stand at the right hand of God and pray for us continually. Letting go of my son was the hardest thing I ever have had to do. Mary They are Gods. Even these two I have now do not belong to me. Mary we will always be mothers and Mothers are frozen in time at the letting go of our children. Nicole is such a treasure and is Nathaniel. We are so blessed to have them before us. We will always look to the day when we embrace them again. Until then we know that HE has them as He has us now.
Healing is a process.
