Chloe's special Christmas dress
Chloe's first day of her 2nd year of preschool
This day will be forever etched in my brain. She was SO very excited. Not nervous at all, After all it was "her 2nd year of pre-school mommy." lol! She didn't want me to leave but she wanted me to stay the whole time with her. She wanted to wear some of my jewelry so she had on my necklace and bracelet this day!
Chloe's baby dedication
When Chloe was almost six months old we had her dedicated at our church, Brandywine Community Church.
I love, love, love looking back at those pics and remembering the beautiful dedication dress my sister got her and her big, round, bald head!! It's amazing how much hair she ended up having because she was as bald as an eagle for the first year of her life. (Love bald babies.)We were committing as a family, her daddy and I, and our church family, to pray for her and to raise her up in a Godly home and set an example for her.
Chloe's birthday
Almost 14 years ago the Lord blessed me with allowing me to give birth to the most beautiful, perfect child ever. I remember thinking immediately, "Nothing I've ever done or could ever do could make me worthy or deserve this precious gift He has given me." And two, "How could anyone not believe in God when He can create such beauty, not to mention all the logistics of childbirth.”
I still remember the feeling of being so unworthy to be Chloe's mommy, and I cherish the many times she would hold my face in her hands and say "Yew my best fwiend mommy."! And how she told me "Mommy, don't you know wherever you are is where I want to be." She was too perfect for this fallen world.
Though I will continually grieve the years I won't get to spend with her I constantly thank God for the years I did have with her and with the fact that I get to spend all eternity with her.
