Happy Birthday, No-No

Happy Birthday, Lissie.

little tiger

I miss you, my baby, my darling son. I miss you.
Sweet dreams, my love.

xoxo

I can't believe it's been four years.
Mama loves you, baby girl. ♥

last of days

"The world carries on without you, but nothing remains the same.
I'll be lost without you, until the last of days..."

Dear No-No

Happy unbirthday, Noah-my-Noah. I suppose, where you are, this day is much like any other; but my heart feels especially broken wide open today. I miss you so much, baby.

I read your book the other night, before I went to sleep. I know you would have loved it; and I would willingly have read it to you over and over again, because I love it, too. (Do you remember when I read to you that time, right before you left? I will never forget.) I love you, I love you, I love you. Be well, my darling, and happy, until we meet again.

XOXO - Mommy

PS: Here is the picture I made for you.
Because you were my little tiger, and always will be.

In loving memory of Noah Griffin, August 31, 2009.

hello, cupcake

I had a little party at the park. The guest of honor coudn't make it, but it was a nice party anyway.


A red-velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing (mommy's favorite), topped with mini M&Ms as a tribute to baby. I'll hold on to the candle for the future; I just wanted something to keep, to remember my remembering day.

happy un-birthday, my love

In Memory of Ailis Evelyn Hadley, June 13th 2010

I drew this for you, Lissie, for your un-birthday. Because I love you. I'm going to share it with Remi and Rosi too, though. I don't think you would mind. You were sweet like that. And still are, I have no doubt. XOXO

Love, Mommy
