Doing our “thing” each morning, like two little old people. Making sure everything looks nice, throwing away old flowers and checking to see if someone might have stopped by, if someone did, wondering who it was.
I am so grateful we have a spot that is a memorial to Emma. Some people have their child’s room or like us have a cemetery spot to go to. For me I feel closer to Emma here, for Paul it is at the house.
I am so sad the season is changing. I normally love the fall, with the cooler weather, excuse to wear boots and pretty jackets. This time it just means I am getting farther away from when Emma was here. Emma loved the fall as well, she loved pumpkin bread and soup, she loved jeans and jackets, she loved cool mornings and fall sports. How I wish I could hold her for just even a minute, to tell her again and again how much I love her and how proud I am of her. How all I ever wanted was a little girl named Emma, and how terribly, desperately I miss her.

I am so so sorry about your unimaginable loss. I spent some time reading posts about your dear Emma. I never had the opportunity to meet her, but I can tell from your descriptions that she contained so much goodness that the world could not afford to lose. It makes me want to do and be better in her honor. Here’s to Emma’s ripple effect. Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

I am so sorry. I wish you were buying her new running shoes instead of flowers. I think about her all day.

What on earth do running shoes have to do with Emma? They’d likely get stolen….I am just racking my brain with this comment, and althhough I NEVER comment- please allow the I vanofsky’s do whatever they deem fit. You just don’t understand.
Tiffany, Paul & all the children/siblings- I am SO SORRY for your loss. God bless you & know you are thought of often.
Tiffany says
It is ok. I understand what she is saying. She is saying she wishes that Emma was with me, and that we were together at the mall buying running shoes instead of me being alone buying flowers for her grave site. Thank you so very much for having my back though, I appreciate it so much. Thank you so much!

So sorry for your loss. Can’t even imagine what you are going through. Prayers to you and your family. The arrangements and tokens of love are beautiful. Your Emma was a blessing that God wanted to share with you and there will be a day you will meet again! Count on it!

Awww…..I pray for you and your family. I’m hoping God helps you and comforts you in some way. Emma can see from heaven what you are doing. She is probably smiling from ear to ear. We are only here a short time on Earth. In the blink of an eye, you and your family will be with her in a paradise. In the mean time, just keep doing as much good on Earth as you possibly can. You are so awesome to think of others in your time of grief!
