To our precious Evelyn Grace,
This is the hardest thing Gramma has ever had to write. My precious baby lamb, you were loved from the moment mommy and daddy told us we were going to b grandparents. What a day that was, their was so much excitement and anticipation for you to come into the world. Your mommy and daddy didn’t know if you’d be a boy or girl. I do know that mommy was hoping for a girl (a little shopping buddy among other things)but neither of them cared as long as you we’re healthy. I will never forget the morning you were born. Both your grandparents were waiting for daddy to come out and when he finally came out, he said “we have a little girl and both you and mommy were healthy”! There was so many tears of joy. I also remember when it was time for mommy to go back to work it was one of the hardest and saddest days for her to leave you, I was the lucky one , that they entrusted to care for you while they worked (your daddy would kid with Gramma and say he had to go to work to put food on the table for you and mommy”, they wanted the best for you precious! You my baby Evelyn are the one that took me out of my darkness that I had been struggling with. I was happy to get up at 5:50 AM each weekly morning. I’d even come earlier to chat with your parents to see how you slept, when you ate etc. then I was happy after that because I got to hold you in my arms and love you with every fiber of my soul. The same with Grandpa, he’d come visit you at lunch time as much as possible! I loved taking pictures of you to send to your mommy and daddy so they’d know you were safe and happy! We had our silly days when Gram would dress you up looking silly and send it to them, I thought you look so cute, you made me laugh. I know how much you loved your mobile and the lullaby’s playing. I would try to sing you lullaby’s , but I only could remember a few words then Gramma would improvise and I told you I would learn the words to some lullaby’s for you, but the song I remember at church and that I loved to sing was “This Little Light of Mine”
This little light of mine, I’m going to make it shine, you were our light my precious. Now our light is gone. Jesus took you way too soon but, I know you’re safe in heaven! Your grandpa is a strong man, but now that you are gone his heart is shattered. I’ve never saw you grampa as broken as he is now. He and I will never be the same my baby lamb....the light went went out for us, the day Jesus took you home. Oh my Evelyn Grace, we love you so much. We promise to take care of your mommy,daddy and Eddie. It will be very hard, but will do our best. Our life that was once filled with liaughter and joy is gone and now we can only hear the sound of silence. Our hearts are shattered beyond repair princess!
We love you our baby angel!
