My Kate-Kate


Halloween 1994

Katie tried, but she was too cute to be a witch for Halloween. This picture was taken the Halloween BC (before cancer.)

Here is a poem I wrote that reminds me of today...

Pictures

Picture the mischievous look on her face when she smiles and says, “You are my favorite mommy in the whole wide world.”


Picture the pride in her eyes when she writes her name for the very first time.


Imagine her delighted giggle when she rides her bike down a hill.


Picture the way her hair curls when you twirl it around your fingers.


Picture how small her hands are when she lovingly touches your face.


Imagine how warm her body feels cuddled next to yours on a stormy night.


Picture how she strikes a pose when she tries on her first high heels.


Picture how beautiful she looks in her princess Halloween costume.


Imagine how sweet her voice is as she is saying, “I love you, my sweet little mommy.”


Now picture her in heaven with the angels and all that you have left of her . . .


Are pictures.
