Added some light and things to Alissas garden that her school made for her ❤️❤️. Its crazy how you can feel happy and sad at the same time. All i know is she will always be remembered by all the little kids that walk through this little area ❤️❤️. Waking up and trying everyday is hard work but people that do this for Alissa really does make it easier to try. Thank you ❤️❤️

Month of may is Brain tumor awareness month. Donating to this cause would mean so much to us, in hopes that no other family goes through the same pain and no other children goes through this horrible disease.

Cleaning up and found this. It hurts that it wont be used anymore. It hurts wondering everyday, i try to change the way i think so i dont go crazy. Im thankful God chose me to be your mother, im Glad i was given a chance to spoil you and show you how much you mean to me. It still doesnt feel real that you are gone, harper sometimes thinks that you are still in the hospital and when we pick you up, you would be able to talk and walk. I love you Alissa always and forever.

Grief affects everyone, my youngest understands but sometimes gets confused. She asked me “ate is in the box but is she also in heaven and our hearts?” She is talking bout Alissas urn. I try to be as honest as i can with her. I tell Harper that Alissas physical body was not healthy and she is dead but her soul is in heaven and her memories and our love for alissa will always be in our hearts. I will always talk bout Alissa, i will always tell harper bout Alissa ❤️❤️

My ring came in with Alissas ashes! Makes me feel so much closer to my angel ❤️. Please continue to pray for my family, February has been hard for us since it was when she got diagnosed and March 25 is her first birthday in heaven. Its hard to believe its only been 4 months but it feels like years since i have kissed, cuddled and seen my baby girl.

I recently joined a parent support group at Childrens Dallas and its for parents that have lost their children. It has been such an amazing thing being surrounded by people that get it. Its something that i look forward to every monday ❤️. Its amazing that i am able to also tell people bout my faith and how it has given me some peace in this nightmare and hopeful everyday. I am trying to re invent my life but also making sure Alissa is still part of it everyday. I had this journal done and i plan on writing on it everyday, keeping her memory alive and including her ❤️
