Happy 13^th birthday, sweet angel!

How can it be that you would turn into a teenager today?! We can only imagine how your character, talents and kindness would have grown from what we knew as a toddler into what we wish we could know now.

We do a lot of wishing for those kinds of things. And a lot of praying for other things. Still praying for a cure. Still praying for all the kids who are facing what you endured. We wish we could have sent you off to your first day of kindergarten like your sister this year. We wish we could have hugged you into middle school like your brother this year. We wish. We pray.

Even though we will forever feel the human loss, we are grateful to know where you are. We are grateful that it’s only a matter of time before we celebrate with you.

We still miss you and love you dearly, Kyrie Dawn.
