1/16/06;1/16/07 5:08-6:30P.M.



Where do I begin!! What a day!! We were okay though. We both took off from work and went and did a few things that needed to be done as far as Hailey is concerned. It was sad when 5:08 rolled around. I remember being in my hallway shortly after that giving her CPR and talking to God asking him to please help her thinking she was choking. I remember before they had me do CPR on her, holding her in my arms as she went unconscious. How many people have to experience their children dying in their arms. Her death certificate says she died in the hospital at 6:30, I know better she died at home in her mummy's arms and as hard as that is atleast when she went through that she wasn't alone in a hospital surrounded by people she didn't know.I felt that little girl, our daughter leave this world in my arms. I cannot understand for the life of me why this happened, but it sucks!! The church service the other day I have to say was beautiful!! He did a really nice job!!
As I was driving home from work lastnight, I was thinking how I just wish when I walked through the door she would be there to run into my arms and obviously she wasn't but however when I did get home, I did my first usual thing and let the dog outside forgetting that her Christmas tree is now in my back yard. When I let the dog out I noticed something glowing bright in the back yard and it was her tree glowing bright for the first time since we brought it home from the cemetery. I thought to myself whelp Amanda, theres your greeting!! I called Frank and told him, neither one of us noticed that tree lit since we brought it home, so I know that was Hailey greeting me the only way she could right now!!

Yup never will understand why we were dealt the cards we were in this life as a unit, but all we can do as I have said before is play them out and it cannot get worse then what was and is. But as you know Bob I could write one hell of a book!!Go back from day 1 of Amanda's life. Not that I am feeling sorry for myself but just trying to bring out a point I guess, I guess I feel that I am a pretty strong person for all I have faced in life and can still get up in the morning and go forward.I don't feel the need or have the desire to wollow in it and try to do stupid things to avoid it for example drugs, suicide all those lovely things that one decides to do when life gets a little tough.I am proud of who I am today and I am proud of the family and friends I have around me because with out all of you guys maybe I would be that ugly person, but most of all I am proud of the person that Hailey has molded me to be today.

Hey Amamda,

They church service was so nice. I couldn't stop crying. Stupid me didn't bring any tissues. I was using my sleeve and Al sleeve too. haha I thought about you, Frank, Alex , and Hailey all day on Tuesday. I wish I didn't have school that night. I really couldn't concentrate that much. Thats why I called you on my break. I didn't know if I should have called you, but I just want to see if you guys were ok. I miss Hailey!!! I love you guys so much!!! I will see you soon.
