13 Years Ago We Lost You, Baby Girl 9/19/2019

Our Sweet Emmie-Rose

A Happy Birthday and Miss You Letter this Year

 Well, This is weird! I guess I didn't realize til this year that I hadn't posted a Birthday Wish to You, Baby Girl. (Now, I see it has be 3 Years) :( Life has had many crazy things happen in the time I wrote you a Letter. Papa died in April and You got to see Him AGAIN!! I am so extremely Happy for YOU! He loved you Baby Girl! We so miss both of You so much! Our Journey since 2016 has been a Wild RollerCoaster Ride. We became a Family of 8 (on Earth) and have several transitions and losses during this time. Life is definitely not always Smooth Sailing but We have each other and the Reassurance that one day, We will see You, Papa, Nana, and many more! We have a lot of work to do down here still but God knows the time and place for everyone and everything. 

So, This Year, You would have hit a major Milestone: Becoming a Teenager! WOW! That is so hard to think about, Our last Baby turning 13! Drama, Drama, Drama! LOL Though, We know, You wouldn't have been into all of that, RIGHT?!?!?! LOL Friends, Gossip, Homework, After School Clubs, Sports, Games, Dances, and more! I wonder, Would you have been more like your Big Sis Z(into Everything that was offered at School) or more like Big Sis M (into Choir, BBall,  Crafternoons, Srsly and "Little Mommy" to Our Special Additions) or like Big Brother B (Top 2 in His Class last year, Srsly, Quiz Bowl, Robotics, into Gaming, and Movies). I would like to think You would be a Combination of all three with your own Sassy and Spice stirred in like your Momma! :) 

It's so hard to think about it even today not seeing you in any of these Activities, Clubs, Sports, etc. Not to be able to see your personality come out and shine in a World that is so dim. 

  We miss you like crazy, Baby Girl!

We will Always Love You, Baby Girl!

 DISCLAIMER: Keeping it Real Tonight!

Emmie-Rose, You fought so hard til the very end. To think that people gave up on YOU because they thought you were "damaged" and "not perfect" (their words) was the worst feeling as Parents to hear about Our Child! YOU WERE PERFECT AND NOT DAMAGED! Always Remember, Baby Girl, We fought SO HARD for YOU! The individuals that are responsible for your situation know exactly what they did and may You haunt them Everyday, Baby Girl! Karma is not a good friend. 

Though I try to keep this upbeat and happy as this is a Letter to Baby Girl, People need to understand, those responsible GAVE UP and DIDN'T TRY FOR OUR BABY GIRL and they know it!

So Baby Girl, Emmie-Rose, We have NOT FORGOTTEN NOR WILL WE EVER! WE LOVE YOU and MISS YOU MORE EVERYDAY! YOU ARE OUR ANGEL FOREVER!

Happy 10th Birthday, Sweet Emmie-Rose!!!

 Happy 10th Birthday, Sweet 
Emmie-Rose!!!

It is so hard to believe it has been 10 years since you 
were born!  Today, You would have hit double-digits, 
gone into 4th Grade in the Fall, ridden Bikes with
your brother, played Babies with one sissy, 
and played Soccer with your other sissy! 

  We miss you like crazy, Baby Girl!

We will Always Love You, Baby Girl!

Happy 9th Birthday, Sweet Baby Girl!

Happy Birthday Sweet Emmie-Rose

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Sweet Emmie-Rose!

Happy Birthday to YOU!!! :

Emmie-Rose, today you would have been 9 years old. Amazing….! It was a whirlwind day when I wasn’t feeling well and we went to the hospital to get checked. Finding out I was having contractions was a crazy thought as you weren’t due til November. The doctor tried to stop them. After awhile, it was determined that they weren’t stopping and it was time for emergency delivery. Daddy and I were in complete shock and confused to what was happening. We were so scared not knowing what was about to happen…and that we might lose you right after birth. Everything went so fast once the doctor said we had to deliver right away. I delivered naturally, and You came out and they laid you on my chest. You were so tiny, We had never seen a baby that small before. You were Beautiful! I only got to enjoy you for a few seconds before I asked them to take you and do what they could to help you recover from being born too early. Your name was bigger than you……Emmie-Rose Payton J.B. Yannella. It was quite awhile before we could see you…and I was so scared to see you for the “first time” in your incubator. Once we saw you, our hearts melted. You were so Beautiful!! You “glowed” in your little “cloud” bed. Daddy could fit his Wedding Band around your wrist, and we could hold your hands through the little doors on the sides of your bed. Daddy took pictures everyday. You had good days and not so good days but you were a fighter til the very end.

   We will Always Love You, Baby Girl!

8 Years Ago Today

  TODAY

     9/19/2006

 

Today was your Day!

  God was calling you Home!

He put you in Our Arms!

To say your Final Goodbye!

You looked at Us with such

A Sweetness and a Loving

Way without a tear in your

Eye. You told Us it would

Be okay, We would see you

Another day. It broke Our

Hearts that you had to leave,

But God knew he needed you

There! One Day We will see you

Again. We can’t wait for that Precious

Day to come! For we miss you more

Than Life itself and would love to see

You Today!

Happy 8th Birthday Sweet Emmie-Rose

It is hard to believe today you would have been 8 years old.

 

 

The day you were born was a Super Special Day....You were born on My Cousin, Shannon's 

Birthday! We were so Happy to see You! You were so small and Oh so Beautiful! Yet, We were so 

scared not knowing what the next minutes, hours, days, and months would be like. The NicU Team

took you and got you all set up in your "little house" and then We were able to see you. You were 

so teeny tiny, Your hand was so small, Daddy's Wedding Ring fit on your wrist. Mommy and Daddy had never seen just a tiny person before, You were so fragile. We were so scared every step of the way but We loved spending as much time with you as We could. Daddy took Pictures everyday.We have pictures of YOU everyday you were on this Earth and We Cherish them Always! You are Surely Missed every day Baby Girl.

Happy Birthday Sweet Emmie-Rose

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Sweet Emmie-Rose!

Happy Birthday to YOU!!! :)

As Your Brother would sing to you.....

Happy Birthday to You!

You live in a Zoo!

You look like a Monkey!

And You act like one too!! 

As you can see....Your brother, B-Boy is a silly and handsome guy...Your Sissy, M-Girl is adorable and a sweetie....and Your Big Sissy, Z-Girl is beautiful as ever and growing up way too fast. Though they didn't get to see you as much as Mommy and Daddy did, they wish they could have and they miss you terribly. We have "good days" and We have "not so good days", wishing You were here with Us.  

We wish you a Very Happy Birthday in Heaven Sweet Baby Girl! You are FOREVER in Our Hearts and Minds!

7 Years Ago Today

Emmie-Rose

Seven Years ago today you were taken from Our Lives.  You fought with your whole heart and were so alert until your last breathe. You were so strong and loving. You lived for 66 days through it all. We loved holding you tight and cuddling with you. Daddy would take pictures of you everyday.....you grew double your birth size and were so alert, it was wonderful to see. The day We got the awful news that you were super sick and you may not get better, was the day Our hearts broke. You were thriving and doing well (ups and downs to be expected) but some things  happened that We couldn't stop. All We can say is God had a reason and needed you more in Heaven than on Earth with Us. We miss you every day, think of you always, and wish you were here all the time with Us. Z-Girl, M-Girl and B-Boy have gotten so big from when you were in the hospital, We can't believe it.

Daddy and I wish you were here always and forever! We miss you! Z-Girl, M-Girl, and B-Boy talk about you and miss you tons! They will always wonder "what would have been". It breaks Our hearts to see them suffer like this. We do the best We can to help them through everyday without you hear. We hope you are having an Awesome time with Nana and your other siblings and family. 

We will never forget you Emmie-Rose! 

You are Forever in Our Hearts!

Today You would have turned 7

Happy Birthday to Our Sweet Baby Girl....You would have turned 7 today, gone to VBS with M and B. Played Dolls with M-Girl, wrestled with B-Boy, and hung out with Z-Girl doing all the Girly things and snuggled with Mom and Dad before bed! There is not a day that goes by that We don't think of you or what would have been. It breaks My heart that you couldn't be here to do all the crazy things your Sisters and Brother do. They miss you tons and still don't always know how to handle you not being here with Us. Baby Emmie-Rose, You will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN Sweet Angel!!! You are in Our Hearts FOREVER AND ALWAYS BABY GIRL! Run and Play and Enjoy your Day and always remember, Mommy, Daddy, Z-Girl. M-Girl, and B-Boy will ALWAYS LOVE YOU! You are Our Hero!
