I love you so much. I know you are small right now, but you will grow up very fast. You are already 1 year old. Not to mention Sunday you will be 13 months old already. WOW does time fly. I know the years will fly just as fast with you as they did with your mother. Looking at you I see so many things that she did when she was your age. I really love being able to see you grow and change it brings back such fond memories for me and of course it's making new ones for you and I. I love our cuddle times. I love the kisses you give me and your hugs are the very best. You squeeze my neck ..its so cute! I just love it.
You are asleep right now, so I can just stand over your pack-n-play and watch you as you sleep. You are so angelic. You are a gift from God in heaven. God sent you down here to me because he knew I would need you. You came exactly at the right moment! God is so good. Your papaw Ed (great grandpa) went to heaven June 28, 2013 and then we found out that you would be here June 2014 (we found out your mommy was going to have you in October) Just the right time, I was having a hard time because I was really missing my daddy, your great papaw Ed, You were the perfect thing to keep me occupied! I was now busy thinking of a baby shower for your mommy. We were also busy making things here at the house ready for your arrival. I am so glad you got here EXACTLY on time. You were born June 5 and the one year anniversary of daddy's heaven going was June 28 ...I was so busy helping mommy & daddy with you that I didn't have time to be sad. Of course I do still miss my daddy (and my mamma) but now I have a very BEAUTIFUL little granddaughter to keep me busy.
I love you so much,
MUCH LOVE & KISSES,
Grandma Fuqua

My grandmother always told me how fast time flies by and I believed her but the older I get the more it seems true! Time just flies by day after day ...The years just pass so quickly anymore. Aaron is now 27, Amber 25 and Jordan 23 I can't believe they are getting so old. What happened my babies! They are grown and now having families of their own.
I remember trying to tell myself at each stage of their lives "ENJOY THIS because soon it will be over" Oh yes there were times I would be ready to pull my hair out ...thinking are we all going to live through this stage. Looking back it wasn't really anything "big" but at the time it seems almost like the end of the world. ha ha ha
That is just some of my feelings about my little Alivia. I still miss my mom and dad so very much. There is not one day that I don't think of them and miss them but now I have someone to fill some of that hole in my heart.
SMILES,
~~ Tracy (Alivia's Grandma)
