I am so glad I started blogging. This was the last day I spent with Joy. While I was packing, Joy was making messes and I was taking pictures. She had gotten into the brown sugar that was left out from breakfast. She made a mess and got it everywhere. So typical! Now my house is clean but my heart is empty...

Oh, Tami, I love you...my heart is still hurting for you. I love these pictures of Joy and the great, patient mom you are - to take pictures mid-mess. Lots of love...
ReplyDeleteThese pictures started the tears over here. She is so gorgeous, so full of mischief and mayhem. I love that you captured this moment. I admire your patience and good humor. You have taught me so much. Love to you Tami.
ReplyDeleteLunch next week?
I will miss her adorable, messy face! It has been said before, but I will say it again...you are one patient mom! I look up to you more than you'll ever know. PLEASE, call me when you need ANYTHING! Good food, a friend for Eli, Guitar Hero-whatever heals your soul- I will try to provide! Love to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteWe love Joy Joy and her messes. We love you all and we think about you all, esp. you, Tami, all the time.

Tami and Family,
ReplyDeleteI am a relative of a friend and I guess I'd be called a "stalker" in the blog world, since I don't know you, yet I visit your blog. I just need to say that I am so sorry about your sweet Joy. Please know that your angel is safe now, wrapped in the arms of Jesus and her family in Heaven.
i love the toothbrush in the mix. i love that joy is just looking at you like, "of course i would be doing this."
ReplyDeletelove you.
Tami, my heart breaks for you! I haven't stopped thinking and praying about you guys. You are such an amazing mom and I hope one day I can be the kind of mother you are.
ReplyDeleteI second Brooke's comment about the toothbrush. That was one of the first things I noticed...how funny!
tami, so sweet that you have pictures of this day. i have to second everyone else's comments at how good a mother you are to laugh and take pictures of her in the mess. we have not stopped thinking and praying for your dear family. ((hugs))

ReplyDeleteyou have such a sweet heart and i ache for your loss but i'm glad to see that you're up on the blogging. it is good to hear about you and your family and to be able to participate in your good memories of your sweet little Joy.
