IN MEMORY OF KELSEY My Dearest Kelsey, I wanted to create this page in honor of you to celebrate the wonderful 9 years that GOD allowed us to be together. You were so very beautiful and your smile lit up every room you walked into. I loved you then and still love you now more than words can describe. I don't know GOD's reason for taking you on December 5th 2003, at a very young age of only 9, but one day when HE decides it;s my time to come home, then I want you to be the first one to greet me. I hurt so bad everyday over the terrible loss of you, sometimes it's unbearable. I look around the house and you are everywhere I look. Wether it be your shoes or a favorite stuffed animal, you're always here, and I welcome that feeling. I alway's want you around me. You are so deeply missed and so dearly loved, but you will never, ever be forgotten. I love you Kelsey. We will be together again someday. THE DAY MY WORLD CAME TO A CRASHING HAULT On December 5th 2003, started out like any other day as my children Kelsey and her little brother Brandon got up for school. They were dressed and ready to catch the bus. The only difference that day is that our car was not running due to a cracked radiator and I was unable to drive them to the bus stop. So we walked that day. They run a little ahead of me hoping not to miss the bus. On the way I stopped halfway up the driveway and told them to go ahead and wait for the bus, but to not get near the road. I could still see the road even though it was dark outside, meaning I could see headlights, from cars and such. I kept yelling to Kelsey not to get near the road and she asssured me that they were standing by a tree that we always parked at every morning. I heard the bus coming and yelled one last time, "Kelsey dont get near the road" then I heard the impact. I thought it was a mailbox or hoping anyway, and rushed up there to find my beloved Kelsey lying on the ground motionless and cold. I felt helpless , with nothing I could do to help her, I didnt want to touch her or move her because I was afraid I would hurt her even further. As Kelsey was crossing the street a car came around her bus and struck her on the right side. Her little body was thrown at least 150 feet. She suffered multiple fractures and internal head trauma. I later found out that it had broken her neck. While on the ground with her I was begging her not to leave me and praying to GOD not to take her from me. We went to the hospital and they were tring to do what they could to save her, and I was there with her holding her hand pleading with her to fight, because Santa was coming to see her and she had a dream of becoming a baby doctor when she grew up. As it was she passed away unable to fight the terrible trauma that this had caused her and she went to be with Jesus. Still in shock over this all I could do was sit there with her and hold her. My heart was aching for her to just wake up but she never did. Everyday I have to live with this traumatic loss in my life as I go in and out of my driveway where the accident happend. I know in my heart that Kelsey IS with JESUS and he is taking care of her until I get there. I will Forever miss her and of course Love her for all eternity. PLEASE IN HONOR AND MEMORY OF MY ANGEL KELSEY, PLEASE NEVER PASS A SCHOOL BUS, A CHILD'S LIFE IS WORTH HAVING TO WAIT FOR 60 SECONDS. I LOVE YOU KELSEY!! LOVE MOMMY
