Today we, sadly, had to attend a graveside ceremony for Brooklyn Mae Bailey. Brooklyn is the 2 1/2 month old daughter of my first roommate at Utah State University, Angeline Bailey. Brooklyn was born with a heart condition and after many surgeries and hope, she finally ended her battle here on earth. It is amazing to me to see the strength and love that she brought to her family and the lessons that she taught us all. Today as I watched her father bring out her little casket my heart broke, thinking that no father should have to carry their child to their grave. Through the sadness and tears, I am so glad for the knowledge that God has a plan for us and that she received the body she needed to fulfil her purpose here. As the Bailey's grieve for their daughter, I am grateful for them sharing her life with us and what love she brought to the lives of us all.

I am so sorry for your roommate. Just seeing the pictures of each family member kissing her is so hard to comprehend why that had to happen. What a beautiful little baby.
She is beautiful.......
and happy
