WARNING!!!
Beware this may make you cry….
It has just dawned on me that today is Audrie’s birthday, she would have been 5 years old today =) Audrie was born on June 6, 2006. I remember when Rosalie (her mom) called me to tell me she was born. I was scared b/c she wasn’t due for another couple of months. Turns out she was ok but she was early. She was in NICU for almost 2 months. She finally got to go home and everyone was excited!! Audrie did have some development problems with her eyes and legs and she wasn’t growing like she should but as the year went on she was getting better…
Then in December I get a msg from a friend asking me if Rosalie’s daughter ok b/c she heard she was in the hospital.. I freaked out and called her house like a million times and as I was getting ready for fast Sunday I received a call from Rosalie’s sister and without letting her talk I asked “ is everything ok? What’s going on?” the line went quiet and I said hello.. I will never forget what she said next “ Meekayla, Audrie is gone we don’t know what happen” My heart sank. I didn’t feel like going to church I just busted into tears. I gathered the strength to finish getting ready.. I had to leave after sacrament to be there for my friend..
I hope to never experience losing a child I can’t imagine how hard it is. But I am happy and jealous that Audrie is with are father in heaven.. I am jealous that she doesn’t have to face the challenges I have to and the struggles I go through.. I love her and miss her and very happy she is with our heavenly father! I can’t wait to see her again..
I miss you and love you Audrie and happy 5th birthday!!!! You are loved very much!!!
