Stories of Lost Children
You would be 3 years old!
by Emilee McConathy, Nicholasville, KY, U.S.A.
It is almost Thanksgiving and this time of the year is really hard for me. I can not believe that you would be three years old in December. I still miss you like crazy and wish so bad that you were here. Ashlyn now sees your picture and says "sissy". I miss you so bad, McKenlee. At church a lady told Nana that her granddaughter's name was McKenlee and I felt a sense of shock and happiness. I bought an ornament for you for the tree. It says, "I am with you because you remember me". I teared up in the store when I found it and had to buy it. I know that you are with me but I wish you were here, physically with me. I wish we could run and play and laugh together. I know you and Ashlyn would have so much fun together. I just can't get over the fact that is has been three years now, and I feel like it was yesterday. Things have gotten a little better, I do enjoy myself now. I know you would have wanted me to go on, but it is so hard when there is a piece of yourself gone. I will never be the same. I am not the same person I once was. It might be a good thing or a bad, but you will always have a piece of my heart with you. I can not wait till the day we are reunited. I am trying to go to church more and become a much better Christian so that I know I will see you again and for Ashlyn. Because we all know that you are in heaven, it's just a matter if I will get there. Which I know I will, but it is still a worry. But enough rambling, I love and miss you like crazy, watch over us all!
