I love my daughter..... Here is an email I received from my wife. My wife went up to her mother's on Sunday. I will be going up Wednesday.

I bought her a small purple My little pony Christmas tree yesterday- about 14 inches high. It came with ornaments that you put stickers on and a star. She decorated the little tree this morning and I told her let's go find a place to put it. So we tried the coffee table- she didn't like that. we tried another table- she didn't like that. I asked, "where do you want to put it?" She said, "I want to put it on Kerri's grave." Wow! I almost lost it. I'm still trying to hold it together. We're going to go by there today on our way out to town and let her do it.

This weekend she had a friend over on Friday night. My wife overheard her tell her friend she was glad she was here. Then my wife heard her tell her firend that she said she had an older sister but she never got to play with her, because she was in heaven.

See, Kerri is her "big" sister that she never got to meet. Kerri died in 2001.

I have tears in my eyes now.

Children are smart ones and sounds like you are one lucky parent to have a daughter like that.

On my son's second B-day...in the middle of cake and ice cream and friends and presents, he grabs a helium balloon and goes outside and stands on the deck and then lets it go. We asked what he was doing and he said it was for his sister. She needed a balloon too.
