(for our little Courtney Marie) I'm not there anymore, Aunt christy I'm right here...don't you see, sitting in the hand of God. You shouldn't cry for me. He came to take me while I napped so I wouldn't be afraid, He's taking such good care of me just like you always prayed. I watched you breathe into the body that used to hold my soul and try to warm my little hands cuz death had turned them cold, I watched you tell my family and hug them on the floor, it's okay, I promise, I'm not hurting anymore. I'm in Heaven beautiful where my spirit's finally free just take good care of my mommy until again we meet.May 26, 1994, 2 weeks after her first birthday, I found my niece cold in her crib. Her death was attributed to SIDS. I loved her more than anything in this world and I will never forget the horror of that day, but even more, I will never ever ever forget how much she means to me.
