Dear Lilly,

More balloons are headed your way. They were sent to you in heaven from some of our family members that you didn't even know. But they are so very touched by your story and wanted to send you some love, too.

 

(balloons sent from the LeBlancs in Sarasota <3)

Also, I forgot to tell you that when Roxy sent those balloons to you yesterday, she told me,

"Lilly is like a rainbow now."

I told her that was a very beautiful thing to say. I told Chris and he told his sister who told us about this song...

(Thanks, Lisa! It did make me cry!!)

"Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother.
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors"

Your mom posted these pictures of you and Roxy. I was SOO happy she did it because I looked through all my pictures the other day and was in tears that I couldn't find one picture of just the two of you.

 

Tonight when I was tucking Roxy in to bed, we started talking about you and I started to get tears in my eyes. Roxy said, "Oh. I shouldn't talk about Lilly. I didn't mean to make you cry, Mommy." 

I tried to tell her it's okay to cry and that when we feel sad, we need to let it out with our tears, but I'm not sure if she really heard me. I know she talks to you, Lilly, she told me she does in her head. Next time you girls have a chat - please let her know it's okay to cry sometimes. I promise I will hug her for you and try to make her feel better.

Love,

Roxy's Mom
