Today is Bailey's 18th birthday. This picture was taken in September 2000 when she was 6 years old. What I didn't realize is that this would be the last photo she would ever have made to celebrate her birthday. I didn't know that in 4 short months she wouldn't be here for me to hold. Bailey passed away January 12, 2001 at the age of 6. Birthdays are always hard for me or any special occasion really. Your mind starts to wonder about what would her personality would be like, how tall would she be, would she like to dance like the other girls, would she be a great big sister, where would she be going to college? I used to wonder quite a bit WHY this happened to me. Not only to have a disabled child that suffered everyday of her life, but to have her live for 6 years 4 months and then to be taken from us all of a sudden. As I have grown and matured in relationship with Christ I know that all thing are for His glory. I am looking forwad to the day I can see her again.
She will be able to walk, talk, run and play. What a day that will be!!
