* Kayla Lynn Harris * My darling little angel, Kayla. I always prayed for a little girl to call my own. God blessed me with my two little boys. And I longed for a little girl to dress up and play dolls with. And to have as my best friend. God answered my prayers. On January 21, 2005 Kayla Lynn Harris was born into our family of 4. Now we were complete. The 5 of us were the happiest family that could have even been. We knew she was a miracle in her own. When I was pregnant with her, at 14 weeks God wanted to take her home, but she was determined to meet us 24 weeks later. She was so strong and we knew it. Even with her low birth weight, and doctors poking and proding at her she would light up any room she was in. My step-mother in laws mother never got the wonderful experience to meet Kayla or even see her picture. But everytime someone who talk about her Wynnie said "I always picture an angel when her name is spoken". That was a sign from Heaven that God had a better plan for her than what we could have given her. I thank Him everyday for the time He allowed us with her. I could not have asked for more. She was perfect in every way. From her beautiful big blue eyes that could capture your heart in a second, to her tiny little toes which she curled whenever you touched them. She was the perfect little angel. Her brothers couldn't get enough of her. They were constantly playing and cooing with her. It was a sight for sore eyes after a rough day. But she was our strength. And we loved her more than anyone could love a little girl so special like her. When her Daddy would say your are my little girl, he meant it. I never saw him so happy to hold her, and she would always carry on "da, da, da, da, da." At least 1/2 hr before he was even due home from work. And she knew it. She would search the whole house for him bumping into every wall in her walker. Oh God does miracles. And now she is in abetter place with Him now. His plans are much greater for her than we could have ever given her. I still thank Him for every second he gaves us with our little angel. Kayla Lynn ~Kayla Lynn Harris~ My sweetest little girl. Kayla Lynn was born on January 21, 2005 via c-section due to her being so tiny. She was 4lbs 6oz and 16" long. She had trouble growing while I was pregnant with her. We had slight complications which caused this. She had been seeing specialist after specialist. They were all trying to figure out why she still wasn't growing like she should. After countless appointments and testing, they finally discovered that she had a "rare for her age" disorder. They called it failure to thrive for the longest time. But The Children's Hsopital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania said that she had a low growth hormone. Which was causing her to be so tiny. She was 11 months old and only weighed 9 lbs. But as petite as she was she was the strongest little girl I ever knew. So brave & happy. Through all of their testing and poking and proding she was the happiest little thing alive. Always smiling and giggling. "Da, Da, Da, Da", her favorite saying...lol But we had finally found a cure! Or treatment I should say. Then on Saturday, January 7, 2006 she went to her Grandma's house. She never went anywhere without myself or her Daddy. But this time was different for some reason. We weren't on very good speaking terms with her Step-grandfather so I let her go without me. She spent the day with her grandpa and grandma. They headed out on their way home at approx. 5:45 p.m. They had made it about 15 minutes from our home. And we are not sure of the exact details but his Aunt Jenny was driving the vehicle when she either hit black ice or a white out. Both were present at the time. She had swerved into the other lane for an unknown reason as of yet and ended up on both the shoulder and part in the road. A full size Chevy Suburban had come flying up at hit them in the passenger side of the vehicle. This is where her brother Zachary was buckled into his booster seat. Kayla was on the drivers side buckled into her infant seat. The doctors' have all said that the cause of death was internal injuries. I just wish if this had to happen I would have been with them. I regret the decisions I had made that day to let them go there. But how was I to know what fate God had in store for both of them that day. I pray everyday that they are safe and in no pain. And smiling down on us from above as they always were the happiest little children I had ever seen. Kayla, we miss you more than life itself. And we cannot wait until the day when we can see you again. We love you so much, words cannot describe. We hope you are being good for your brother. But we hope you are both taking care of each other the best you can until we can join you both. We all love you and miss you so much my "Kayla, Kayla", you are "Daddy's Little Girl", and always will be. Love you so much, Mommy, Daddy, & Corey :o) Kayla (Christmas Morning 2005) July 6, 2005 (6 months) We do not need a special day To bring you to our minds, The days we do not think of you Are very hard to find. Each morning when we awake We know that you are gone, And no one knows the heartache As we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness And our secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you No one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you You place no one can fill, In life we loved you dearly; In death we love you still. We Remember Them... At the rising of the sun and it's going down, We Remember Them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of the winter, We Remember Them. In the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of the spring, We Remember Them. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of the summer, We Remember Them. At the rustling of the leaves, and the beauty of the autumn, We Remember Them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, As we remember them. Kayla & Zachary We Miss You Both So Much, Sometimes It's Hard To Bare! But We Know That You Are Safe Right Now. Your Memories We Hold Tight Inside, Our Hearts, Our Minds, Our Souls. You Will Never Been Forgotten This Is What I Know. For You Are The Most Precious Gifts From God, And Although The Time We Spent With You Was Short, They Were The Best Times Of Our Lives! >>>>If I could sit across the porch from God, I would Thank him for lending me you!<<<< Daddy's Tattoo For his Little Angels! When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, we mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold, so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. He knows we need them, and so He takes but a few to make Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try, the saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye." So when a little child departs, we who are left behind must realize God loves children: ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND Kayla in her walker. October 18, 2005 Kayla in her Halloween costume.
