April 15th!

Today we are having the burial with just our family and Laura and Rose which are like family to us and Pastor! It's a little chilly outside today but luckily not snowing or raining. We all head over to the funeral home to see Paige one last time before the burial takes place. Leilani takes her 2 first teeth she has lost 1 while Paige was still in Mommy's tummy and 1 after Paige was born, actually lost it on the day of the Memorial Service. It was all her idea when she lost her first tooth to give it to Paige to remember her by so we wrote a note and put them in a little bag together. I let Leilani know before we came into the viewing room that we would be seeing Paige one last time but that she was already in Heaven with Jesus and that it was just her body that we were seeing so she wouldn't be confused and even though she is only 5 she seemed to understand what I meant. When we got into the viewing room before the funeral director opened the beautiful white fluffy casket Jonathan said by the way I noticed last night that she still has the wrap on from the hospital can we take that off? It was a blanket that we had used from the NICU when she left to go to the mortuary so they wouldn't drop her blanket or lose it before the burial. So he said of course so he lifted her up and we took it off of her and me and Jonathan got to hold her 1 last time and I cried and she was so fragile but so beautiful still. I told my parents it would be ok if they took a picture of us with her 1 last time and then I laid her down into her little casket and Leilani put her lamb she had picked out for her in there with her and then her 2 teeth and then the funeral director took a picture of all of the family together with her one last time. We all headed down to BabyLand for the burial and after Pastor spoke we had a balloon release in honor of Paige with pink balloons it was beautiful even though it was very windy and the balloons went really fast into the sky. We then watched her casket be put into the vault and Candace,Ana and Leilani all put their pics they had colored for her into the vault with her and Jonathan,me and Leilani put a rose on top of her casket. It was then time to say see ya later never goodbye because we will see her someday soon in Heaven and we can't wait for that day. We had a ton of food from the church at our house so I invited all the family to come over to eat lunch and my sister stopped to get drinks and ice and some bread and stuff to go with what we had already it was so sweet of her can't thank her enough for that blessing to us. After my family went home I decided it would be nice to take a nap and Jonathan and Leilani went to Target with Nana and Papa and got spoiled and then they brought us Chillis home for dinner, so glad we both have such wonderful supportive caring families and such wonderful friends.
