Claire's heaven-birthday

We miss you baby girl.  
Wish you were here with us to celebrate.

November 12th, 2014 was the one-year anniversary of Claire's death.  It also marked the end of her first year in heaven.  We miss her every day.  It's been very hard here living without her.  Simple things like going to bed and getting up in the morning were painful at first.  But little by little, clear and bright moments are beginning to outweigh the painful ones.  I think she must be sending some of them our way.  At times, she still must be visiting us with her sweet spirit and joyful energy in unseen ways. It's important to remember that the pain and tragedy of her death is only on our side.  On her side is heaven, and there is nothing except joy and celebration.  So we try to celebrate too.
