Re: [as_ap] Mercy's first Birthday

Hi Pettina,
I read your message last night - it was beautiful. I knew that Mercy's birthday was coming up soon, but with everything else going on this week, the date had slipped my mind.
It's beautiful to hear how you spent the day as a family remembering her. I hope that we will find meaningful things to remember Matthew by as the years go on.
I would like to write to you all about Matthew's funeral which was held a few days ago. Will come back to the computer later tonight to try.......
Love Vanessa

Well it has already been a year. Where on earth did it go. Happy
First Birthday Mercy Grace Beves.

WE let some Balloons go. A gift for her in heaven and spent the day as
a family. We will have a dinner and a cake in rememberance of her
tonight. I might Baby cupcakes. I thought them fitting considering her
size.

Im surprised how well im doing. I feel..... words cant describe but im
definitely not falling apart. I guess for us we are lucky that we dont
celebrate her birth and mourn her loss on the same day. Tho that
doesnt change that she isnt here and i dont miss her like mad. I wanna
buy her so many things. Instead we will just buy her a special stake
to put n her rose plant.

Sorry anout the rant, just wanted to share my day so far.

Vanessa i hope your doing well.
