Happy heavenly birthday, sweet angel! Fourteen?? Oh, what so many would give to see you before their eyes at this age. Your birth on this day in 2005 was a glimpse of heaven on Earth for your parents. You were the most beautiful baby I'd ever seen! I can only imagine how glorious you must appear now.
They say time heals, and in some ways that's true, but it's a conscious intention to allow time to do it's work. The loss is still undeniable, but you are still very much alive in our hearts. We still rejoice that you were here at all. The time you were in your parents arms was a gift that is still here, baby girl. The love is still living. And every birthday of yours that softly floats in on September 1 is another year closer to see you again.
We're so happy to have loved you for 14 years, sweet Kyrie. ❤️

The Day the Angels Came
The Day the Angels Came
a grandpa's prayer and poem for Kyrie Dawn
Wednesday, April 4, the day we heard of the explosive growth of the tumors
Alas! O, Lord what is it that I hear?
Is it Your angels coming for our Kyrie Dawn?
O, please Lord, keep them at bay--
If just for one more day.
Thursday, April 5, Holy Thursday
O, Lord, what is this I hear?
Is it that You need another little angel to be near?
O, please Lord, please Lord, don't take our Kyrie dear.
Could You please keep Your angels away,
and we could have her just one more day?
Friday, April 6, Good Friday
O, precious, sweet Jesus, is this the day?
No, no, dear Lord, not today--
This is Your day that You died to save.
Again, please Dear God, let us be selfish
and keep sweet Kyrie another day.
Saturday, April 7, Holy Saturday Easter Vigil
Thank you dear God in heaven
for yet another precious day--
For we all know things will be done your way.
Little Kyrie Dawn is fighting so very hard--
Yesterday she three her ball three times
till her tiny arm got tired.
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom God's love entrusts her here,
Ever this day be at her side
To light, to guard, to rule to guide. Amen.
Sunday, April 8, Easter Sunday
Dear God in Heaven, Your angels came last night,
As we all knew that someday they might.
They came around the hour of seven
to take our precious one to her
special place in heaven.
Sweet Jesus, we know that you, too, love the little ones,
so to You we give You our little Kyrie Dawn--
And in the end, it is always Your will that will be done.
Amen.
Love,
Papa
