Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away
*
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me
*
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me
*
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be
*
-Billy Joel

On Friday, March 6th, 2009 we laid our precious baby girl, Amelia Jayne, to rest in a small, private burial ceremony. Despite the wind chill, the sun was shining which was our greatest hope for this day as we envision Amelia full of sunshine and happiness. Her grave was dedicated by her daddy and the prayer was beautiful, heartfelt, and full of the spirit. We know that she is safe and happy in her Heavenly Father's care and that its only a matter of time until we can see her again. In the meantime she'll always have a precious place in our hearts and our home and we'll love her forever and for always.
