Lacie passed away Sunday evening at home. On Friday, her parents made the decision to take her off the oxygen. Her organs were all failing, and she was still having numerous seizures. Since she was no longer hooked up to multiple machines, R & L were able to have Lacie sleep in their bed for two nights. All they did was cuddle her and stare at her all night long.
L feels such a sense of relief that her baby girl is no longer suffering, but her sense of loss is immeasurable. Lacie has been sick her entire life, so L never got the chance to hear her say "I love you Mommy". She'll never watch her first dance recital or school play or soccer game. She'll never take her shopping for a prom dress or wedding dress.
L treasured each day that she spent with Lacie, and she taught us all to never take life or our children for granted. Although Lacie is gone, I will never forget her and her angelic smile. What a special gift it was for me to have known her.
