My little Desmon

When your mom was pregnant with you, I was living with your mom and dad. (Not easy to live with your dad, is it. HEE LOVE YA RICH)...Anyways as I was saying. We didn't know at the time that you were a girl. So we all anxiously awaited your arrival. I had the privilege of being there when you were born. I was outside the room watching the shadows behind the curtain. When you arrived you should have seen your dad jumping up and down like a little kid at Christmas. All I could hear your dad say is, "It's a girl, a girl!" I was so excited! Your mom and dad were expecting a boy, so Grandma Hughes and I went out to do some shopping. We even had to bye an outfit to bring you home in.

You were a surprise, but a GREAT surprise! I remember the first time I held you. You were so sweet and little. I used to lay on the couch with you and fall asleep with you in my arms. Uncle Chris and I had a hard time staying away from both you and McCoy. We kind of just adopted you two. We used to love watching, and playing with you guys. We were there on your first birthday, your first Halloween, when you first started to walk and talk. We were there for a lot of your first. It was like watching one of our own grow up. You still have a huge part of our heart.

I remember it took forever for you to grow some hair, but just like now you were the most beautiful bald little girl EVER. You used to always want your Aunt Seda, and of course I ate it up...And if you didn't want me all I had to do was grab your blankie and you were all mine. One night you forgot your blankie at our house. Your dad called around 1 a.m., asking if he could come get it, because you wouldn't go to sleep with out it. You were always so strong willed. I thank Heavenly Father ever day for giving you that fighting spirit. No one could have fought the fight your fighting like you have, without it. I know that's why you were given these mountains to climb. He knew that it would only make you stronger and bring you closer to him. You have always been a special spirit and I can't imagine my life without you. You are such an inspiration to us all. I have so many fond memories of you! And you know what,,, they are all GREAT memories. I love you so much baby girl and hope you feel better soon. Know you are always in my thoughts. ((HUGS)). I wish I was there to really hold you in my arms, but that will have to do for now. I love, love, love you more!

Aunt Seda
