So many  memories of you sweetie pie.  Saw a picture of you yesterday with that snake around your neck!  Can you believe you did that??   I remember that day, a special circus trip for just Mom and Amy.  I remember one day when I was home from work for whatever reason and you were getting dressed for school.  You looked so beautiful when you left.  I went to the window, watched you get into your car and drive away.  Not sure how long before your accident that was, but I think a  few months, I didn't realize that it would be one of the last times that I actually watched you drive away.
I remember how excited you were for Christmas to come that last year, and you didn't even get to be here for Christmas.  I will never understand why.  It is too frustrating to ask that question, so I try not to let my mind go there.
Dad and I were remembering last night about a few particular times when you were juggling boyfriends (lol).  Funny stories,  good memories, makes us miss you more.
I will celebrate your life this Saturday, because your life is one of the most precious lives to ever enter into my life.  Your life was beautiful, though short, and you brought much joy to your family.   We will forever miss you.  Lots of love, MOM

My sweet baby girl was born on February 23, 1984.  She was the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen.   She was colicky for 9 months, and became attached to my hip.  I was her world for her first 2 years of life.  I am so thankful for that special bond that we had.   I feel that was even a gift from God, not to mention the wonderful gift that Amy was.   She was so full of laughter.  There were tears too.  Kids in school gave her a hard time, in middle school, saying she was fat, which she was not, but that hurt her deeply. It really did a number on her self esteem.     She was so smart.  In the fifth grade she was voted class clown and smartest girl.  She had the most amazing ability to make people laugh.  I will never forget her laugh.  I long to hear it just one more time.  Just once.  Her smile would brighten anyone's day.   She grew up to be a very beautiful teenage girl.  She never believed that she was pretty, but if you look at her pictures, you will see that she was  Wish I could see her as an adult.   She would be 26 now, if she were still alive.  

She brought so much JOY to my life and to our house.   The house is still sad without her. 

Her friends loved her dearly, and still miss her.  She had some very good friends.  God blessed her with friends.

I believe she touched more people in her short life of 16 years, than I will ever even imagine to touch.  

I thank God for giving her to me.  Why did he take her away so soon?  I will never know the answer to that.
