Today I am sad.
I wrote this yesterday but didn’t post it. It was too hard. It was eleven years ago that my seventeen year old daughter, Britt Leanna, left this mortal existence where we all dwell for a time.
It seemed as if her time was too short however, perhaps her time had been extended. Perhaps a loving Heavenly Father let her stay longer to be with me, her mother.
During her mortality, did Heavenly Father miss her
as much as I miss her now?
I think he did.
And this is my very favorite photo in the whole wide world.
Britt, Brian and Todd.
August 1997

I’m so sorry. I still don’t know how anyone can deal with the loss of a child. You are an amazing person. My thoughts are with you.

As hard as it is to share, we thank you. I still remember the service, and how packed it was, she was loved by all. At the time, I remember thinking that this is my sisters boyfriends sister, I guess I never though that one day she would be my sister-n-law, this makes me sad that I did not get to know her better during the time that I did have. I can promise you, that her days here have had lasting impact on those that knew her.
Love

Cathi, you know my heart breaks for you about your precious girl.
But, she must smile down and feel so proud of you. I can tell by reading your blog that you are a good person that has loving relationships with your family.
One day, we will all be together. And, you will be able to give her all the kisses and hugs that are for her.
