Happy Easter to dear little Ashley.  We think of you often.  We remember you as though it were yesterday.    You left us a darling daughter Alexandria that we thank you for.  You were a good mommy.  You would have been a good LPN too.  Wishing this would never have happened.  Wish we could see you again.  Talk to you again.  I remember our last words to each other and that comforts me.  Your mom wont be the same.  She is so lonely for you.  You & your mom had a special relationship that any mom would be envious of.  Thanks for all the memories but wishing you were here instead.  Its hard to go on because the road ahead seems so long but Alexandria will lighten the burden.  Its still hard to understand why this happened to you.  Missing you always & forever, rest in peace, dear little Ashley.  God bless you! 

A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, They will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

"It's the end of another year and so many thoughts go
swirling through our minds.  For many, it has been a
difficult year - job loss, loss of friends, loss of a home,
loss of health, and possibly one of the most lasting
losses of all - the loss of a child.  For some there will
be no celebration at the end of the year - only a lot
of tears for those dreams that were stolen away so
unexpectedly.
How does a person move on?  How can a person move
into the New Year with joy when so much sorrow
surrounds the heart?  It's not easy, but it helps to
remind yourself often that you are never, ever alone in
your pain.  There are times when we feel alone, but the
truth is that we are surrounded by hope and it is there
for us whenever we call out for help.
Look at nature in any season and be reminded of the
One who is in charge.   Look at the majesty of the
starry sky at night and know that you are counted among
the stars.  Listen to the sounds of the wind rustling through
the trees and hear the whisper of God letting you know He
is by your side.  Look for the rainbow painting the sky
and be assured that you have not been forgotten.  Remind
yourself often that hope is stronger than your pain! "-C. Hinton

"For every tear you cry, there is a seed of hope being watered."

--Clara Hinton

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me."  --Psalm 61:a

Hey Ash I finally turned 18 this past December!! I try to go out to talk to you atleast a few times a month, but I've been slacking. I miss you Ash... it's been 15 Months since you've been gone and it still hurts so bad when I think about you...its still so unreal. Well you probably already know this cus your watching over me, but I'm a firefighter! I carry your picture with me in the jacket. So on every call little or big I know you'll be there protecting me. Sorry I haven't made another poem up for you but I'll get to one here soon. Toni made bracelets for people with your initials on them and your birthday and the day you were taken from us. Well, I haven't taken it off since I got it. I wear it every single day. I wake up sometimes and its off but I put it right back on. I feel like when I wear it, you can hear me especially when I need you. Well, Ash I know your watching over me, and my family. I love you soooo much Ash. I'll never forget you and hopefully you'll never forget me neither. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Ash! Again I love you! Talk to you later! ♥♥♥♥♥

♥P.S. Tell Tesse I miss her too!♥

thank you thank you for the dream it makes me so happy i hope you really are watching alex like we were talking about stuff in my dream im sure you are give ur family strength they need to feel your love ! love u ash

 I just want you to know that your friends miss you so much.  They talked about you non-stop at the sandbar today.  They hurt so bad inside about losing you that they cried together.  They want to believe that you are happy and your cool about being an angel now.  They love your daughter so much.  They love your mom so much too!  They will never forget you.  I miss your sweet disposition and your beautiful smile.  Christopher keeps a picture of you on his dashboard.  We have your picture and Alexandria's pictures all over our house.  You touched the lives of many people.  You knew everybody and you were so well liked.  We think about you constantly and we do believe you left your spirit with us.  I remember that last day I saw you on the river.  You said "Yvonne, I love you".  And I said "I love you more, Ashley" and I do! We are keeping our eye on your mom and Alexandria and  I am blowing kisses and hugs to you for giving us Alexandria. She means so much to everyone!  We're trying to find her a wee little tricycle now.  She is a special little girl who has your smile, your disposition and your spunk!    But we will never stop asking why.  Why did you leave us?  There's just a big empty hole and its hard for your family and friends to fill-up the void.  Take care, sweet one, and know we love you always & forever!
