Little Footprints

How very softly you tiptoed into my world.



Almost silently you stayed,



but what an imprint your footsteps



have left upon my heart



A heart of gold stopped beating



My baby girl's eyes at rest



God broke our hearts to prove,



He only takes the best.



God knew she had to leave us,



but she did not go alone.



For part of us went with her,



the day He took her home.



To some she is forgotten,



to others... just the past,



but to us who loved and lost her



memories will always last.

Brynn's Headstone

So at the beginning of this week we got the call that Brynn's headstone was done! I was so excited to be able to get it and be able to get Brynn's grave marked. So Friday my parents let us take the day and went to Pocatello to get it. While we were there Devon got a bunch of tools that he needed to get for work and spent a lot of money. It blows my mind in how much he spent on tools while he was a mechanic for Lithia that he didn't have one thing in his tool box that would work. Oh well such is life. We went and picked up the headstone both of us had butterflies in our stomach and were very pleased with it. Blane even placed it in cement for us. He is such an amazing man. I think this next weekend we will place it on her grave. By then we will have a little more help in doing it. It took 3 guys to lift it. I'll post some more pictures when we get it placed. But here is what it looks like.

Our Visit to Brynn

So last night Devon and I decided to go visit Brynn. I cannot believe that her 5 month Heavenly Birthday is coming up so fast. I've been reflecting on her quiet a bit lately, thinking things like I wish I could see her crawling, being there when she would take her first step, listening to her giggle from her aunts and uncles teasing her because in my family if your not being teased then something is up. Any way back to our adventure of going to visit Brynn. So we got to the cemetery road and it still has snow on it, we drove in a little ways and everything looked just fine so we proceeded on in. We made it to the gates and walked from there to her grave. I still cannot believe that after 5 months how incredibly hard it was to stand there knowing I couldn't hold her. After we stood there for some time both of us were freezing and decided to go back to the car. (this is where the fun begins) We tried to back out and soon realized we were stuck! Devon got out of the car and start pushing while I drove... we got no where. So Devon got our dust pan and I had a cake pan and we started digging ourselves out. We got a little ways up the hill but couldn't any farther than that. My mom called to check on us and then soon after that we were on the phone to my Grandpa Allen calling for help. So Grandpa got on his tractor and came and plowed the road for us and pulled us out. While Grandpa was on his way down to get us; our neighbor Eric Nelson happened to see him go by on the tractor so he called Grandma and asked her what was going on so he went and got his Dads tractor and soon follow and started clearing the way. Needless to say I felt dumb that we had to call for help but at least we got out and even better the road is now clear lol. I miss my Brynn so much right now.
