I watched you grow from an inquisitive loving child into an independent, focused young woman. You were kind, funny sometimes very silly, but always a joy to be with.  You loved life. You were positive and encouraging to others.  You would have become a force for good.  May others follow your example - Treasure each day.  Grandma.

I remember the first time I held you at five weeks old.I had never loved someone as much as I loved you. I’m so thankful for the love we shared. I will treasure the good memories we made. You’re like a bright light. So kind, beautiful, smart, authentic, funny, and loving. I will always love you Amelia. And I miss you. Thank you for loving me, too.

I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since we lost you sweet girl. I love you and miss you so much Amelia. And I always will. Every first without you is very difficult. But, I try to focus on the happy, precious memories we made together. You will live on forever in our minds and hearts Mimi. Thank you for teaching me that life is precious. And thank you for being my guardian angel.

I love you so much sweet girl. I miss you every second of every day. Wherever I go, you will go with me. I know that now. You are the kindest, most beautiful inside and out, wisest soul in a young body, I will ever know. Wherever I go and wherever I am Amelia, I will always carry you with me.  Thank you for sending me such amazing signs and for loving me like only you can.

Happy 19th Birthday, Amelia. I hope you’re playing basketball with Derek and laying on the beach in Hawaii. I miss you so much and I’ll love you forever. I’ll try to have a cupcake for you today, sweetest girl. Rest well and I’ll see you someday.

Thank you for coming to see me in my dreams last night Amelia. I love you and miss you so much always!

Hi, Mimi. I miss you every second of every day. Thank you for loving me. For supporting and encouraging me always. You were my biggest cheerleader. I wish you were here with us sweet girl. You’re my precious, beautiful guardian angel now, Amelia. I know now that you know how much I love you. How much I’ve always loved you and always will. I’ll see you in heaven someday sweet girl.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since we lost you Amelia. I don’t miss you any less now than I did when I found out you had been taken from us. I love you, your mom, and your sisters more than anyone in the world. That will never change. I’m going to do something special to honor you and Derek tomorrow. I wish you were here, sweet girl. I’m walking for you and Derek next month. RIP honey.

During covid, when the gyms finally opened up you were always there. I always saw you working out there no matter what time of the day I went to the gym. So I had this competition in my head, that I couldn’t skip a day of working out and you were the competition. When I tore my ACL and got out of surgery. The first thing you said to me was “I’m winning.” That reassurance made me smile.
