Dear Isabelle,

Thank you for choosing me.

You knew, whole heartedly that the missing piece of the puzzle needed to be filled.

When you left this world, you left with so much fear, fear that no human alone could or should ever hold. Your legacy and spirit was known otherwise as a strong, driven spirit full of zest for the outdoors. Thank you for shining your light and directing me towards your two precious loves, Heath and Lea.

It’s almost as if you and God had a bigger plan for us all and slowly and patiently you waited on our human egos and hearts to figure out the clues to the puzzle.

Your spirit brought through people, moments, and dreams which left mini bread crumbs along the way. You have slowly, with the help of God, weaved your grand vision of us all together as a family unit.

Now as Heath's wife, and a mother figure for Lea, I promise to love them whole heartedly, to support, and guide them with your soul in mind.

I can love them, and help heal the fear.

I can love them, and remind them how you loved them.

I can love them, and show them strong support.

I can love them, and allow them to grow.

I can love them, and we can all love one another.

Just as you have wished.

I often wonder why and how you decided to choose me?

Both you and God perfectly orchestrated and prepared my heart for the journey and you are still building our lives both as a family and as individuals.

It’s magical and it’s beautiful.

So in replace of your fear, at the end of your life cycle. I am choosing peace and love, and I will continue to share that love with those all around me.

Thank you for choosing me Isabelle.
