We had a memorial today in honor of Ellie. We all wrote her a letter and planted a fushia tree by our front door in her memory. We sprinkled the dirt with goldfish and we will be making a marker and burying a copy of the letters and the goldfish package soon. Kelsie gave me permission to post her poem that she wrote to Ellie:
Brown
Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown
It is not a color
it is a beautiful little girl
It is the color of the precious baby
the sight of her is so shocking
as she is so adorable
her smile is not
one you can forget
because her teeth are oh so white
It is her big brown eyes
that stun you the most
the twinkle that you see
when she is so happy
It is her tiny hands that
grabs the goldfish crackers
off the silver mirror that portrays her golden face
It is the love that you see
when you look at her
at first it was confusion,
now it is love
every color, blue, pink, and green
looks good on her,
her hug is so warming
she sleeps so softly now,
she is happier then ever,
now that she is taken from this world
because she was too perfect.

That was such a good cute poem. Loved it. Hope you are all doing well. I saw some pictures of the girls on Mckenzies myspace and they are getting so big. Everytime I see a picture they have changed. I can't believe how fast time goes by. Talk to you later.

That was so sweet! What a great memory you will all have on Mother's Day, celebrating Ellie' life.
When you wrote that you sprinkled "goldfish" on the ground I thought, why would they kill little fish?! haha I think maybe it's a little early in the morning for me and my brain cells are gone!!!
