A shadowbox holding the gown the hospital dressed her in hangs in our bedroom. A friend of ours created a framed work of art using flowers from her funeral. We always stop by her grave site whenever we are able to make it to Mobile.
We are blessed to have her in our life. We miss her everyday and long for the day when we get to hold her in our arms again. It hasn't gotten any easier over time, the pain still stings just as deep.
If today you see any daisies or butterflies, please remember Sara.
As a member of the clan McCarty, I saw this and wanted to say that there are butterflies in California. We said goodbye to Zachary over 13 years ago but it was too early to do it in person. Every once in a while one of the children says they are thinking of him and his bear sits on the shelf in the family room. His ornament hangs on the tree. As a photographer who at this point cannot conceive of attending a 'Now I lay me down to sleep...' session, I can only imagine the hello and the goodbye you must have felt. Zachary's passing made way for another's arrival so we look forward to seeing him someday as well. Spend the time well. Blessings.

Some people aren't loved as much during an entire lifetime as Sara Kay was loved in her brief existence, and is still loved today. You are both amazing people. I'm so glad you have found such a fitting way to honor and remember your angel. I think of you all often, and you are always in my prayers.
