Two years ago...on this very special day...our lives were forever changed through the arrival of a beautiful little girl. Although she was 16 weeks early, she was perfect in every way....from head to toe. From the start, she was a fighter, overcoming insurmountable odds to grow and flourish and making an indelible mark on so many lives, too many to count. Although with us here for such a short time, we will never forget her angelic face, contagious spirit and that soft whisper of a cry heard so rarely.
To our precious daughter Tessa, we feel so blessed that God chose us as your mom and dad here on earth. Although letting you go was the most difficult challenge we have ever faced, the memories made and moments cherished were well worth the journey. Not a day passes that we don't think of you and smile when dreaming of having you here as a two year old, daddy chasing you around the house and mommy showering you with her immeasurable love and endless hugs and kisses. We know that on this very special day, you are in the glorious presence of our heavenly father, having just been joined by your GrandPa Linkous but we still miss you both very much. Our hearts are heavy but today we will celebrate his homecoming and your birthday with as much joy and happiness as possible in remembering all the wonderful moments together. Happy 2nd Birthday, Little Girl. All our Love, forever and ever. -Mom & Dad
