In Happiness and Sorrow…Legacy of Laci

1999 began the legacy of when our little Laci came into our lives in the fall
She blessed our home with fullness and gave happiness to us all.

 Together we had one short year,
Yet thousands of memories we’ll forever hold dear.

 Christmas is the time of giving,
And during this time, she gave us the joy of living.

 Presents and bows, and all the seasonal celebrations,
Laci was most amazed with all the decorations.

 Spring came bearing flowers, birds,  squirrels, warmth and beauty,
Along with Laci’s dedication of monitoring all activities as her self-appointed duty.

 Summer brought sunshine, campouts, parties and swimming,
Laci never missed an opportunity to exhibit her skill at diving.

 Fall of 2000 rolled around with holidays drawing close again,
Little did we know, our time was now limited with our little comedienne.

 That fateful Halloween night with children everywhere enjoying the activities,
Laci was bound and determined to not be left out of all the festivities.

 Her last moments in the world as we know it today,
Was filled with fun and laughter, with her in the middle of the play.

 Candy and costumes were all part of her evening,
We never imagined tho it would all end with grieving.

 The perilous road filled with darkness claimed yet another of God’s little treasures, 
Brokenness fills our hearts now knowing the days are past that once were filled with pleasure.

The pain and loss will subside through the sunrises and sunsets of time eventually,
But we know not a day will go by that we she will not exist in our memory.

Those memories we will hold in the most precious corner of our hearts,
And bide the time until God in his wisdom decides to no longer keep us apart.

Laci, we  love you with all our hearts, and we promise to NEVER let your memory fade!!

A day in the life of Laci:
