Toddler Times


Katie says "TA DA" at age 14 months. Way before the word "neuroblastoma" became a part of our daily vocab. Below is a song that I wrote for her back then; she would get a kick out of it when I sang it to her...

*******

When Katie Smiles

When Katie smiles
The whole world smiles it seems.
I love to see her eyes
When she wakes up from a dream.
When Katie sings
The whole world sings along,
And nothing is sweeter
Than my baby’s song.
When Katie smiles . . .

When Katie loves,
She loves with all her heart;
I knew that from the moment
They laid her in my arms.
When Katie laughs,
It’s heard all around the world,
And nothing’s more precious
Than my little girl.
When Katie loves . . .
When Katie smiles . . .

Independence Day



Happy 4th of July! I wonder if Katie can see the fireworks from heaven?

“Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” (Eskimo proverb)
