tattoo :)

This is my tattoo I got on September 29th 2011 for my baby cousin on the 7th anniversary of her death. She is our little borrowed angel who we all miss more than anything in the world. I got this to remember and honor her. When she died, it was one of the toughest times in my life even though I was so young. I know that some people don't like tattoos but this one is so important to me and my family. I will always remember and love that little girl. Her picture is right by my bed, and I see her face before I go to sleep and wake up every day.

When I was in 7th grade I wrote a poem for my english class. This year, on the anniversary of her death, I looked through my old email for a bunch of old pics and stumbled across it. Yes I cried when I saw the poem and the pictures, but it was really good. Here is the poem I wrote when I was in 7th grade:

why did u take Her,
from a Family of loving people?
i want to know why--
couldn't she have stayed longer?

She was like a blessing,
that touched Everyone's soul.
she was a rose,
that God had picked for My family.

she was so small,
she was as quiet as a mouse,
when She slept in my arms,
I couldn't imagine life without Her.
