I have always said how you are my angel and that will never change. You are just watching over us now. I wish I could get one more biggest kiss ever. I wish we could fight over which cheek is who’s (Do Do’s or Mommy’s). Fighting with papa that you are Mama’s girl. Watching Glee over and over again. Or watching Toys Berry and talking about how mommy cries every time. We shared a love of music. I couldn’t sing but you thought I could. I loved dancing to “you’ll be in my heart” and all of Do Do’s songs on his CD. Or just sitting back and watching you dance to Low, Single Ladies, or Party in the USA. Listening to you sing any glee song, Paparazzi, Barney, Kokomo or Billionaire. You would always laugh when they would say “I like your beard.” Or yell at people during “Lake a Prayer” telling them to do praying hands. You were the one person everyone listened to. You were already a Chippewa. “Fire up Chips!” Every day was perfect. You made my life perfect. One of my favorites was the beach. I got to take my baby girl to the ocean. You didn’t want to leave. We played for hours and it was so peaceful. I know that is what heaven is like. I know you are there waiting for me. You had so much faith in God. I remember last Christmas, the Mann’s family had to stop you while running down the isle saying “Happy Birthday Jesus.” Now you get to spend his birthday with him this year. I am so proud of you for everything you did. Your love for your family was amazing. I am trying to take care of all your friends and cousins by telling them you are with them. But I need you to hold their hand. To help them understand that you are in a better place joyfully awaiting the day we are all together again. you had so much compassion and love for life and everyone knew that. I wish we would have had more time. But you need to know that you made this the best 2 years 6 months and 6 days of my life. I am sure you are up there stealing Papa’s cake. I am so sorry that I could not protect you. I told you I would never let anything happen to you. I should have been there to save you. But know I will always fight for you. So one last time I will sing our song. “Lily close your eyes mothers right here beside, I’ll protect you from harm, you will wake in my arms. Precious angels are near. Lily have no fear. Precious angels are near. Little child I am here.” I just wanted to say if you have children hold them tight. Don’t let them go. Cherish every moment. Always tell them you love them. Lily you are still my world. I love you more than anything, you are my everything! So until I can be with you, I will always love you to infinity and beyond!
Wow, Thats a good eye washer. I can’t wait to meet this Precious little Angel. I am looking forward to it. But by meeting Lauren & Lynette & Michael & Chico, I know that I have already met a part of her. God bless you Lauren.
LILLY WAS SO FULL OF ENERGY AND LIFE- SHE WAS SUCH A REMARKABLE CHILD- WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO HER- HER FAMILY LOVED HER SO MUCH AND CHERISHED HER- WHY DOES THE LAW GET TO TELL U WHO HAS ANY RIGHTE TO YOUR CHILD- AND THAT U HAVE TO LET THE CHILD GO WITH THEM- U SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY NO AND NOT SEND YOUR CHILD WITH ANYONE U DON’T TRUST- LUV U LILLY FOREVER AND BEYOND- TO INFINITY!
Im so touched by all the stories of this beautiful angel Lily. Thank you for all you’re doing to stop the abuse on our children and when they don’t want to go with the other parent there shouldn’t.be a law that they have to.God bless you and your family. Love you sweet Lily.
Sweet Lauren, I happened upon your story trying to research what my daughters rights were her in Arizona. I have read everything about your sweet daughter that I can find and I am so scared that this will happen to our little guy. I pray that you have a little peace each day, your faith appears strong and all things are possible with our Lord. I lost my first son when he was 2 years 2 months and 21 days old, it has been 32 years and he is still as big a part of my life now as he was then and I miss him. I hope that my special angel and your little treasure are skipping down the roads made of gold in Heaven. You are a special young woman Lauren and your treasure was so lucky to have you as her Momma…..Gods Blessings from my heart to yours! Allie
