In Loving Memory of Brynn LaRue: Patches the bear

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.

Patches the bear

Dear Brynn,

Patches finally made it to our home! He had a long trip to finally make it to us. I loved having Patches in our home for a while. We took him with us up to your special spot and while he stayed with us he sat on your shelf at home. It was so wonderful to have such a special little bear in our home to help heal our hearts. One night I was looking at Patches travel log and cried as I started to see how many families are out there hurting over the loss of a little one as well. After our visit ended I was really sad to send Patches on his way, but he needed to go to the next family to help heal their hearts as well. Well Brynn I love you!

Love

Mommy
