If there was a moment I could freeze in time, fourteen years ago would be it. Lola is officially fourteen years old; it is her heavenly birthday. I went to bed imagining what life could have been for her and all of us. I am positive the world would have been a much better place. She left her mark, even in such a short time. Lola is my daily reminder of grace and kindness. We decided to do something fun for her day and JP and I walked the world at Epcot. We made sure to say Happy Birthday to each guest with a birthday button on. We found a dime. Encouraged and had fun speaking with a high school student about her quest to ride Soarin all day, everyone has a goal. The boys and I placed an angel at the garden with pink roses. They also did some random acts of kindness at school today for Lola. Her memory is alive, as these acts of kindness write her story. As a family we donated to the media center's new Maker Station in her memory. Lola is missed by so many. The messages we received made today a little brighter. We had someone trying to complete fourteen acts of kindness, gorgeous flowers sent to our home, and even a clipping of lilacs from a good friend who planted the tree after her miscarriage. It was a special day. Lola will never be gone; she is always in our hearts.
Love,
The Mother of an Angel
