Happy Birthday Chelsie. I love you and miss you so much. I can't believe it has been almost 6 months since you left us. I think about you every single day that goes by. Today we had a birthday party and we bought you a cake and sang happy birthday. I'm sure you would have been laughing at how funny we sounded...No one's voice compared to yours. I hope you saw us though and saw how pretty your cake was. I wish you were still here with us, but I know you are happy and safe in the city of gold. I know you are looking down on us telling us that everything is going to be ok. I am constantly remembering conversations we had together last year when you stayed at my house. Believe it or not I can still hear your voice in my head. It makes me happy that I still remember how your laugh was, how you said "yall" with that accent and how you always hugged your family when you were around them. I love you so much Chelsie, you truly were and still are my favorite cousin. I loves how even though we wouldn't see each other for a long time, but when we did it was like we were always together, we told each other everything. I will always remember our conversations we had. I also want you to see the poem I wrote for you. I read it at your funeral. But, I'm so positive that you were there to hear straight from my lips...So hear it is....

My Angel!

You are my angel in the light.
I know you are near but out of sight.
You will be missed with all of our hearts.
But only for now I know we must part.
We will try to remember that everything happens for a reason.
And that God must have had a greater purpose.
I just wish we had more time before you parted from us.
But I know you will always be watching over us.
We were so incredibly blessed to have you in our lives.
It just doesn't seem fare that it was only for a short 21 years.
Through all the obstacles that life would bring.
You did so well with everything.
It has been such a beautiful pleasure.
And we are blessed you left us sucha perfect little treasure.
She is so beautiful, incredible and smart.
No doubt Abigal Rose is her Mother's daughter.
We will never forget the way you were.
A beautiful young woman, an amazing Mother, Daughter and Friend.
This is not the end but only the begining.
We will meet you one day at the gates of heaven.
But until then, you are my Angel in the light.

I love you and miss you so much Chelsie.
Happy Birthday!
