I will never forget the text you sent me...Mellisa,<br /><br />I will never forget the text you sent me, with the news that you were pregnant, and your worry that I would be disappointed, and your hope for my support. I made it clear that I love you and my support would be unconditional, no matter what you decided to do.<br /><br />None of us knew at that time what an amazing impact you and Lia would have on the lives of our family, friends, associates, fellow workers, and many other people. <br /><br />We all crowded into the delivery room as quickly as possible, to see, to touch, to take a picture....before the expected passing of a beautiful baby.<br /><br />I am so thankful that we had almost two years with Lia. I am so thankful for the hundreds (thousands?) of photos we have. I am thankful for the influence and impact you and Lia had on all of us. And I am thankful to have witnessed the unconditional love, life, effort, sacrifice, and difficulties<br />you provided for your daughter...for my first grandaughter.<br /><br />I loved you unconditionally when you told me you were pregnant....you caused me to love you even more.<br /><br />Love, Dad Don Higginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618043027777126173.post-38634332260546502912013-11-07T21:25:27.813-06:002013-11-07T21:25:27.813-06:00Lia was one of the most beautiful babies I ever sa...Lia was one of the most beautiful babies I ever saw, and your courage and perseverance to give her the best care and never ending love was a lesson that we all can learn from. Life throws all kinds of challenges to us, its how we face them and what we learn from them that defines us. Sharing yours and Lia's story can help so many others learn their way of how to best take care of their child. Keeping Lia's memory alive by sharing her with others is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful little girl and to your unwavering love for her.

She loved her music and when she would open her eyes she could light up the room with her smile. I was blessed to have had time to spend with an amazing little angel. I know she is looking down on all of us and smiling that beautiful smile even bigger!
