Loving You!!!  / Momma (momma)

I don't even know where to begin:

My baby girl was the most amazing person I have ever met.  I don't know why I was chosen to be the mother of such a talented, loving, sweet, kind, intelligent and precious human being, but I am so very glad that God chose to put us together!  Kristen was the light that made my days shine.  It is so very difficult without her here!!!!!!!  From the first smile on her little chubby face to the last smile she shared with me, I will ever be grateful.  She was always so very far ahead of the times.  We weren't only mother and daughter, we were best friends.  You know, she was always so afraid something would happen to me, to take me away from her----and then she left me...........................she lets me know that she is with me daily.  I miss her licking my face and belly laughing.  I miss her laughter and her abounding sense of humor.  I miss our talks, she always new just what to say.  She could always make me laugh!!!!!  Kristen gave much thought to all things, she was very strong headed and strong willed.  She loved God and valued familyl.  She has two brothers, Ben (13 yrs.) and John David (10), who worshiped the ground she walked on and still do.  She loved them tremendously!!
We were just she and I for several years----through it all we grew closer and closer.  She has taught me so much and continues to!!!

Thank you, my baby girl!!!!!!!
