I cant believe we have been without our Reilly for 7 years. I never thought when she passed suddenly, without warning of the flu, that we could ever live without her. She was our first born grandchild and she was our everything! She was so sweet, beautiful, smart, loving, funny, talented------a perfect 5 1/2 year old, and then she was gone. The emptiness in our hearts was unspeakable and we were filled with grief. Her little brother Gabriel(who was only 3 months old) became our savior. Because of this little boy, we had the courage to get up and face the days ahead. He will never know how he lead us through the darkest of days. And then a miracle happened. In the depths of her grief, Michelle became pregnant and 13 months after she lost Reilly gave birth to our beautiful little girl Sophia! Her and Gabe were our Irish Twins and gave us new reasons to enjoy life again. Our hearts slowly began to heal. And we could laugh again because of them. And who would expect 3 years later another blessing would arrive in the birth of Stella. Reilly, thank you sweetheart for sending your sisters down from heaven to give Gabe two wonderful sisters to help fill the huge hole that was left when you went away. From your death, I have learned to live. I have learned to enjoy everyday as if it were my last, to celebrate all that is meaningful around me, to treasure those I love and tell them so, and to be grateful for the smallest things in my life that bring me pleasure! Oh how I wish you were still here with us. I miss you so much everyday and have never really accepted that you are gone. Your spirit is with me everyday and guides my every decision. As I have watched your family go forward without you, please know you are a huge part of all we do. Your siblings talk about you ( even though they never knew you ) as if you are their best friend! It is beautiful to watch. So on this your 7th anniversary in heaven, we still love you and miss you more everyday. You will forever be the reason I am called Nana, and I miss you my little angel. Please keep coming to me and giving me signs----I am watching!!!
