My dearest daughter, everyday is a struggle without you. My life will never be the same. I live each day with the hope of seeing and being with you again. I love and miss you so much it hurts, trying to put a smile on my face daily is a struggle. I don't want you to worry about me, I'm strong and will survive. Please be happy, we all love and miss you. Your mommy... Always and forever

What I wouldn't give
To have you in my arms again,
Breathe your scent
And snuggle close to you.
I want to watch you sleep,
See your chest rise and fall
In peaceful slumber.
Let me lay my hand
Over your heart,
So I can
Feel it beating
Beneath my touch.
I want to be
Lulled to sleep
By its rhythm.

Choose to survive and then be patient with yourself. In time, your grief will soften as you begin to heal, and you will feel like investing in life again. I remember the times we had with Jasminne in her early years. I remember we would go to Dad's house and Merritt would sit on the floor with her and play silly games that just made her giggle. The picture of her in a frilly yellow dress

I just wonder sometimes..Have you forgiven yourself? For what you feel you think you did wrong? There are no perfect parents. We all have regrets! What happened to Jaz, is not a reflection of you as a parent, it was a moment in time SHE was feeling lost. You had every reason to believe she had her direction. . .forgive yourself!

Don't expect a day to ever pass without thinking about her - nor should you even want that. You loved Jasminne dearly, and will deeply miss her for the rest of your life, and that's okay. Cry when you need to, smile when you can...

It is understandable to miss her everyday, to yearn for your daughter, but just know that she is looking down upon you everyday and that one day you will have her in your arms forever and will never let go. She wants, and we do too for you to be happy and know that everyday might feel like a struggle, but it just a road to being together once again. Jasminne is always with us. Love you <3

You have an angel in heaven cousin who cares and protects, every breath of yours is a smile on your beautiful daughter, every beat of your heart, is your daughter a hug, and every tear you shed is an I love you, of our dear jasminne, God is always with you, and the next, she is, God bless you always, I love you my dear cousin Tiny
