Kim was born on Aug 18th, 1969. She was so tiny. She was 5lbs 10 oz. at birth and went down to 5lbs 2oz. when we left the hospital. She would not eat and I had tap the bottom of her feet to keep her awake so I could try to get 1 oz. of formula into her. Then I would wake her in 1 hour to do it all over again. I didnt sleep for almost 3 months because I was afraid something would happen to her. She was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. I was constantly waking her up by touching her to make sure she was breathing. I remember sitting by her crib staring at her for hours! She was a perfect child. I remember one time she came home from school crying because she got a C on a test. She LOVED to talk. Her Dad used to tell her that God only gives you so many words and she was going to use all of hers up! We never had a single argument in our entire lives. She was an amazing Mother. She loved Vincent with all her heart and gave 100% of herself as a mother. She was a wonderful wife. She loved her family so much. She had an amazing relationship with the Lord. When you were around her you couldnt help but think "I want that!" There is such a void in my life now. It is scarey knowing that things are never going to be the same again. But I trust that God has plans for my life. He will never give us more than we can handle. She never questioned why. I cry, for myself but not for Kim. She was my closest friend. I know that Kim is in a perfect place with a perfect body. No more cancer! She is dancing with Jesus! If she could die like a christian I can certainly live as one! Please pray for strength for me. I know Kim is happy but my heart aches for her.
Thank you all for your love and support. I dont know what I would do with out all of you!
