Emalee Rain Januray 20, 2007-August 31, 2007
There is so much I want to tell all of you about our Emalee Rain. It has been hard for me to put into words just how special she is and how much love and happiness she brought to everyone’s life. When I was writing on her time line I could remember almost every single day I spent with her. Even the everyday things like changing her diaper, giving her a bath, snuggling in our favorite places in the house. I could write for pages telling you the memories she left with us.
Though our precious Emalee was only here for a short 7 mos. and 11 days her life was so full. She touch the lives of everyone she came in contact with, even the passerby we didn’t know. She had a way of grabbing the attention of even a stranger at the store. We never went anywhere that we were not stopped and told "that precious baby's smile just made my day" or told that she was the prettiest baby they had ever seen. If she got that much attention from strangers, can you imagine the impact she had on her family and friends that knew her and love her? She captured all of our hearts with her beautiful smile and her gorgeous blue eyes. She gave us all a new sense of life and ability to see what was important. The gift of her life was truly a completion of mine.
Losing Emalee changed all of our lives. When we first lost Emalee I questioned God why He would give us such a precious gift to only take it away so soon. I asked God to forgive me for questioning Him why? Why my precious baby? I have searched deep in my soul and feel God does not expect me not to question why? but to gain strength in my faith by my questions... and to turn over to Him my pain. That does not mean that I do not get angry at times or cry why me?, Why my baby? There are some things while we are here on earth I don't think we will ever understand; but our true acceptance is knowing that when we stand before God all our questions will be answered.
I pray every night for the strength to carry on with this journey He has set out for me and I pray for other families who are going through the same. I don't think I could be saying the things I am today if I had not come across this web site. I have gained a new found respect and love for others. I would like to think we were set on this journey so that we could touch the lives of others with what we have experienced and reach out to others without expectations but with an open heart. This journey is difficult but we do not walk it alone. We find great strength from God and in the love from our friends, our angel friends, and our family! We will continue to live through Emalee by touching the lives of others as she did. By taking the time to see things we never took the time to look at before. And by seeing the things that have always been present in our lives but took for granted. Out of all of this, if there was one thing we could tell people, it is not to take for granted the blessings God has given you because you never know when they might be taken away!
Emalee was a blessing to us all and our lives will forever be changed because of her. We keep her memories close in our hearts and her love even closer. We know she is being held safely in the arms of our Lord and that one day we will be reunited and can hold her again in our arms.
This site is dedicated to our precious Emalee Rain who was so special that God chose her to fly with His angels. We did not have enough time with her on earth but we will have an eternity with her in Heaven!
