Remembering Charlotte York

Happy 14th Heavenly Birthday to the most perfect girl to ever exist, my Charlotte Grace.

I still see you everywhere. In the little things. You were the brightest light in every room. Whether we were at the park, playing hide & seek, eating pepperoni pizza (or the inside of the bread), getting candy, or laughing over your favorite cupcake game… every moment with you felt like magic.

You loved to color, to sing and dance, to put on your little shows, especially your magic shows. You were so full of life, so creative, so full of joy. You were always the first to climb into my lap at dinner, and the first to claim my back on long walks. Your heart… was the true definition of heart of gold. It shined so brightly it made everyone around you feel happy.

You were my mini best friend.

I taught you silly things, like sticking your tongue out in selfies, and crop tops

but you taught me so much more. You taught me how to be brave. How to laugh. How to love deeper than I ever thought possible.

And now I carry that love with me every single day… along with a piece of my heart that left with you.

I miss you more than words could ever say. I wish more than anything I could hear your squeaky little voice, hold your hand, and celebrate you the way you deserve.

I hope today in Heaven is filled with everything you loved, your friends, your laughter, and all the happiness in the world. I hope you’re celebrating big with Karma and Tessa and everyone up there.
