Reese,
Happy 1st Birtday beautiful. We all love and miss you so much. Your birthday yesterday was very difficult to get through but we had everyone over and that made it more tolerable...I guess you could say. We didn't want to write you until after the Silent Auction was over. We are so happy to have so many great people in our lives, and so many people who's lives you touched (either directly or indirectly) as they helped us raise over $4,600 towards SIDS research. Your Mom & I are still in shock and cannot believe (even about 8 months later) that you are gone and not coming back. Every day we get up and it's like a ton of bricks are on our chests pushing us down. We know that we have to get through all these tough days and your big sis & big bro, Noah, help us do that. We told you at the cemetary yesterday but Mommy is pregnant again and expecting on April 28th. We are so happy yet it is definitely bittersweet since you are not here with us. You will never, ever be replaced nor forgotten. We are going to find out the sex of the baby on Dec 9th. There is not a second that goes by that we don't think about you. It is just so hard to write as many times we just ramble....but there is so much to say. It is just not fair that you are gone...and SIDS is what took you from us. We are doing all we can and will continue to fight SIDS our entire lives. They still don't know what it is, yet progress is definitely being made. So many people visited you at the cemetary yesterday, it's incredible. We let 3 balloons go for you there and then later last night Mom-mom & Pop-pop & Maddy & Noah let more go for you. Hopefully you get our notes. When we left the cemetary yesterday, 3 deer ran right by the front of our car. We will take that as a sign that you are saying hi. Happy Birthday little lady. Keep smiling over us as we really, really need it! We love you and will talk to you later birthday girl!
--Love Daddy & Mommy--
