Remembering Lulu

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinjIFHb43cMvKHvCVPisC2rCDev8bsQXCyHsrQnPgXPCYDMk_3ihyahl82-oxQSjH_7KPyQEUpSb2aWMhobiJyXZ_3_dfDNaW8JLBQNigni6YRAXdMvkPPQZ5CewgQ7sZxKNNw1obOYSE/s1600/lucy2o.jpgA month ago today sweet Lucy left this life to finish her mission on the other side.  In her short 15 months on earth she touched many lives including mine. She was beautiful, sweet, feisty, and full of smiles. Her life was full of surgeries and hospital stays, but even through it all she smiled. Lucy has left many behind that miss her very much! Her parents loved her and did all possible to keep her happy, loved, and did everything medically possible to help her. They were truly loving servants to Lucy and their two other children. 
When something so precious is taken, what seems to be too early, it brings up so many questions. Questions that seem will never be fully answered. We all know the "right" answers, answers I truly believe...Her earthly mission was complete,  She was needed on the other side,  Everything is in Heavenly Father's time and hands, Lulu is in a better place, etc. Knowing these answers to be true does provide comfort, but doesn't take away the feelings of such lose. I loved this sweet girl and miss her. I can't even begin to imagine what my dear friends Eliza and Chuck (her parents) feel on a daily basis. Lucy's brother and twin sister will remember her through photos and videos. They both should know how many special gifts Lucy had and will continue to share with them from the other side.

Lucy, Thank you for showing me how to love deeper, fight harder, and SMILE through the hard times. You have taught me that we all have missions to complete in this life and have given me more motivation to trust more fully in God's plan for all of us. You did so much in such a small amount of time! You are and always have been a sweet angel. Love you!

Chuck, Eliza, Jack and Hazel, Thank you for teaching me how to truly serve the ones we love. Thank you for your example of strength. I know you don't feel strong, but you are! You are doing one of the hardest things in this life...and doing it well. That you are doing it at all makes you strong! You have shown comfort to me in your time of need. That is strength! I hope you all know so many love you, including me. Lucy was able to be amazing because she had amazing parents! Love you all!

You will always be remembered sweet lulu!

She really has touched so many people. I know that Eliza and Chuck don't know me but I've been following their story and it's incredible how strong they are. I can't even begin to image all they've been through. Lucy has touched me and I will always remember her.
