That day did come.
1 year.
1 year since she has been back in Gods arms.
1 year since she has been in my arms.
The day wasn't much different than the others until later.
After the hustle and bustle of our "to do's"
Once those minutes hit.
Those minutes before.
When everything about last year came back.
More clear than I have ever remembered.
bedazzling her headstone
glitter
garland
big flowers
random toys
snow/white themed
lights
balloon release while the sun was still shining on Makenzie Christmas
-December 12-
wish lantern "star" release at 5:25 on December 13
5:25
the last moments on earth
in her moms arms
with family around
being told how much they love you
a room full of angels
the most beautiful, the most special ones
holding you tight
letting you give your mom and dad a kiss goodbye
but staying close
to make sure we were okay
finally being able to breathe
finally being able to move
knowing all
perfection
being torn between us wanting you here and knowing where you need to go know
being welcomed by God

remembering everything
feeling her in my arms
feeling that weight
feeling a warmth around you
being surrounded by family
sending off "stars"
5
for the 5 months you were in our life
more than missing
but knowing you are where you should be
held by God

These last two posts were amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your light and Kenzie's light. She has the best parents ever!!
Beautiful Kendra! What an amazing way to celebrate a beautiful angel. I am glad you made it! I am grateful for your strength and courage through this trial. I too believe Kenzie is very proud and amazed at her two wonder parents. The Lanterns were awesome!

I echo what the others have said -- you have done so many wonderful things and have so many great celebrations/remembrance days for Kenzie and for other angel babies. What a wonderful way to spend your time Kendra. I was thinking of you from 5:00 - 5:30 and praying that you were doing okay. I'm glad do see the wonderful way you were spending that time.
Kendra and Ryan, incredible. what an incredible way to celebrate such a special life. I love how you "lit the sky" with the lanterns and please know that Kenzie is still lighting the world with her story, with her courage, with her love-all through the two of you.
Thank you for sharing such a special day with 'us', I hope you felt her love and the peace you gave to her wrap you up even more today than every before. Love and hugs,Em
