Kadence

Today it has been five years since my amazing daughter Kadence passed away. Scrapbooking last week we came across these pictures and I have been thinking about the day these pictures where taken. I'd been there most of the day, and as was the routine I would go home late afternoon. Cody and I would grab something to eat and then he and I would head back to the hospital. We walk in and the first thing I notice is this huge hidious purple flower proturding from her chest. Just as I'm about to express my horror, the nurse walks over.
"Oh my gosh we got so lucky today I was so excited when I found this cute dress in the laundry!"
She was so sweet! and really was excited to make Kadence look cute and like a regular baby. And I really did appreciate her excitement, but gosh what a dress! But she was so alert and I had to prove that there really are clothes like this out there!
This is also considered the Grandma Gurt face. I'm not really sure what that means since I never got to meet Cody's great Grandma Gurt, but here it is!
