Tonight began the healing process...I started to think....
We had wept before the visitation as we saw our beautiful girl in her white with gold trim casket looking so beautiful and at peace but so far out of reach from us. She reminded me so much of Sleeping Beauty as I nicknamed her only two months ago.
Beautiful flowers, heartfelt messages & sweet endearing cards, and of course grieving with so many whom loved Maddie and our family helped us to start healing slowly.
We are so so very blessed to have so much love filling the chapel this evening.
We managed not to cry like babies throughout the visitation...but now as things all around us are settling down we felt the emptiness that we've felt since Maddie's death. Oh, the hearts ache hits right at home again...as Chris and Marissa closed her casket before we came home. She'll be away from us again as she rest in the funeral home awaiting her next destination of Missouri. We and her body will be flying to Missouri the next day. Our sweet girl will be buried next to my mother in a beautiful memorial gardens fit only for a sleeping princess. Our only comfort is in the fact that she's not suffering any more and is in Heaven. We still long to have her here with us...to love on, to kiss and to snuggle all all day long...that longing is still so very immensely strong....I'm not sure if it will ever go away....
