HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM GRANDMA!!

For My Pretty Girl

I Remember

I remember 3 years ago today

I remember the chubby little cheeks

I remember just wanting to hold her in my arms

I remember the smile on her mothers face

I remember the joy turning into fear

I remember how hard she fought that week

I remember praying every time I seen her

I remember her winning the battle she was dealt

I remember her big brown eyes

I remember her giggle and smile

I remember rocking her even after she slept

I remember watching her for hours

I remember that February day

I remember the call that plays over in my head

I remember the look on the doctor’s face

I remember those words…I’m sorry she’s gone

I remember holding my Pretty Girl

I remember trying to keep her warm

I remember the loss in her parent’s eyes

I remember rocking her and rocking her

I remember asking again and again WHY WHY WHY

I remember thinking how it could have been

I remember my Pretty Girl each and every day

And that my friend No one…NOT NO ONE can take that away.

Grandma loves you Olivia Marie

You will always be my Pretty Girl
