Editnote 4/16/12 Not a day goes by now that I do not remember something "endearing" about you.

Sammi you always mattered. Please remember your family here on this earthly plane. We love you so much and miss you even more. There was not a day I grew tired or bored with taking care of all your daily needs. Everything was easy. If only I would remember that with the rest of life's cares. Everything is easy. Now there is no more "Hi, Hi, Hi" Good morning Sammi.

No soft mew at the screen door, asking for entrance into the great big room, that was not your space. You loved to sit by me first thing in the morning, acting like my coach, rooting me on to finish my exercises. The one thing I think coaches don't do is sit right on the exercise sheet, blocking the view. But even that little glitch never bothered me, I thought it was so very endearing. I'll always remember you as my "little statue", striking your sweet pose. All of your brothers and sisters have been an inspiration to me. I know I loved Mister but baby girl, you were my sweet love bug. Really!!

Sweet girl, you left far too soon, but I know that there was nothing on this earth that could keep you here. There was always love for you, and still offered up with no comditions. You mattered little girl, you still matter. You will always matter, even after the pain of losing you lingers no more. Did we do the right thing to have you at home in your last hour? I will never ever truly know for sure. I will wait to hear from you as often as you desire. You always mattered, I hope you knew it to be so. Rest now my sweet baby, I will think of you sleeping so peacefully in your box with the warm blankie around you.....only loving thoughts of you, today and every day of my life I promise. I love you!
