I think when you lose a child, as we lost Katie, birthdays can be somewhat melancholy. I remember the day she was born as being one of the happiest days in my life. And each year, I think on that day and smile. But Katie is gone. She’s been gone for thirty years. The last birthday we celebrated together was her 6th birthday. I will never forget that day, and even after all these years, I miss her in a way that only another parent who has lost their child can understand. You go on. You live your life, but the sadness is always there.
Happy Birthday, my darling daughter, Kathleen. I love you still and you are forever in my heart!
Beautiful. I feel your loss. I miss my daughter so very much too
Just loving seeing these pictures of Katie. Remembering her voice, her laugh, her singing and wonderful smile! Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her and you and the daily sadness of losing her and yet the tremendous joy she was in our lives. We are always missing her and what we have missed. Our love for her never ends, it is the same today as it was the day she was born. Love YOU, Mel

Beautiful, beautiful montage, Maribeth. Absolutely captures that joyful child. Wishing all of you a day of peace and warm memories.
Dear Maribeth: We have a Grandaughter named Katie and I could not imagine being without her.
The good Lord needed another perfect angel and thus,your dearest Katie now serves his calling. Someday, you will sit together and while holding her hand,
she will tell you of the many sad,sick and lonely
children she has comforted on her journey…
Through this beautiful tribute to your daughter I feel that you have given me a small glimpse into who she was and how she brightened the world with her beautiful smile. Thank you for giving me this gift. Prayers and thoughts for you on your daughter’s birthday
I love how you always remember your beautiful Katie on her birthday every year! Hugs!
So very sorry for your pain Maribeth. I pray you are filled with peace as you mark your daughters birthday.
What a radiant soul of your most precious Katie shines through these most beautiful images. I send love to you and to Amanda on this day.
