2nd Birthday away from us

February 13th. Today is Carly's birthday... again. Happy Birthday, Baby! She would be 17... oh my.. I so much wanted to have these days with her. I am broken inside right now. I had no idea this birthday would be so hard. We all miss her so much. I am not a writer and I feel so limited by my own words! The thoughts and feelings I have have inside cannot be expressed the way I want, but I will try. I hope those of you out there, missing Carly, will write back. I am open if you want to talk about her or anything else. I miss seeing all of you who are Carly's friends. It's OK to talk about it. it brings tears sometimes, but don't be afraid of the tears. They crash over me like a tidal wave at times and I have to ride it out. Other times, I'm laughing as I remember Carly's funny sayings and witty thoughts!
We are finally finishing Carly's memorial stone, and hopefully, it will be installed in Roseville cemetery next week. The rain may delay installation, but I hope not. I would love for all of Carly and Kassia's friends to be a part of the dedication of the stone. I want to have the dedication on Saturday, February 21, weather permitting.
I want to hear from you. I want to know if my daughter is remembered in your heart as well.
In loving memory of my Precious Jewel,
Mary
