Joy's favorite aunt found these pictures from when they were babysitting back in October.
Julianne's favorite way to do Joy's hair.
When Julianne was around, Joy's hair was neatly done usually with ribbons.
I was into the side pony because it was quick and easy.
Then one day her hair was long enough for these braids.
and we'll never forget her ponies.
But who are we kidding, most of the time she looked like this!
You gotta love that she is clutching that chapstick especially considering that this is only breakfast.
We would play hide and seek and when I opened the cupboard she would say, "Found you!"
My heart stopped in January. I'm still waiting for it to thaw out. -Mike

ReplyDeleteShe was a beautiful little girl. She reminds me a little of Faith.
ReplyDeleteShe and Lucy would have gotten along great. She is beautiful. I can't wait to meet you. Thank you for your wonderful example.
ReplyDeleteTammy this is crazy I was reading your blog and thinking about a friend of mine from school who's daughter recently passed away and was thinking "wow I wish there was a way you two could meet." Then I click on your comments and see that she had made a comment already. Wow I have goosebumps thinking about it. You two are both amazing women and mothers enduring the same trial. I hope you can be of some comfort and strength to one another.
ReplyDeleteAlso thanks for all the pictures of Joy. I love being able to share in your memories with her.
