221 Days with Pink and Squishy

GIFTS OF GABI'S GRACE

It came to my attention today that Gabi spent 221 days here on earth. Those 221 days were the absolute best days of my life. She gave life a new meaning and I will forever have my special angel in my heart. Even though her physical being is gone, her spirit lives on and I promise to share that joy of my angel everyday for as long as we are apart.

Tonight our dear friends Ryan, Carey, Logan, and Chelsea came over for dinner. At first Ryan came in with the kids we were thrilled to see them. Chelsea reached for me as soon as they walked in the door. My heart melts every time I see her. She is exactly what I picture my Gabi would have been like if given the chance. Chelsea is so full of life...I just love her to pieces. I do not want to forget about Logan. He is such a great little guy! He really enjoyed watching Spiderman 2, what little boy doesn't? And he really liked dessert:)

So Carey finally came in after sitting in the car for a bit...she had a basket of goodies for me...sorry Jason this stuff was for me:) She and my T21 online group of friends had been putting things together for awhile now. There was an amazing scrapbook, they put the pages together, all I have to do is add pics, and there are a few places for journal entries. Then there was a gift card so I could go develop my pictures...great idea! Then there were 2 DS bracelets with a charm that has Gabi's birthstone hanging from it, one for me, one for Gracie. And then my most favorite Carey made me a quilt. It is pink and green camo, there are even pictures of Gabi all over it and there are 221 tulips on it. She counted out how many days Gabi was alive and that is what the tulips represent. I have one other quilt my Gram made (which I LOVE!) when my mom was born. It has me, mom, and Gabi's name on it with our b-day. So this one with the pics on it is extra special I am gonna have to display it somewhere in the house.

I cannot thank Carey and the girls enough for the amazing gifts. And then there was a check for the foundation. Ladies I am so glad that you all have become apart of our lives. I will never be able to express the appreciation my family and I have for each of you and your families. Our children's extra gift is why we all came together and I am so proud of my angel for taking care of me with such a great group of support.

Carey and Ryan, we had a great time tonight...thank you! I hope I didn't load up Logan on to much sugar. And Chelsea baby, I am so sorry about your new ouchy...I still feel terrible. I will send Gabi her way to take away her pain. Can't wait till Saturday!

Love to all!

P.S. In the pics you will notice Chelsea has not had the best week, she fell and got a black eye yesterday, then she hit her month of the edge of our coffee table tonight...poor girl!
