When we were expecting Aspen, our seventh child, we often said that 7 was heaven! We did not realize at that time just how true those words would be. For in Aspen's short life she truly brought Heaven to our home and blessings to our family. Our family, through Aspen's life, learned of true love, true sacrifice, true service, the power of prayer, and of miracles, and the power of faith. Faith to still believe even when prayers are not answered and miracles do not always happen. It was easy to have faith while Aspen was alive. The true test of our faith came after she died.
The faith to keep believing, even though our hearts were broken, and to continue living........
This blog has been set up so that we can share her story.
So that our children who were young at the time and their memories have faded will be able to know her.
It is a chance to share the events of her life and ours. The good and bad, happy and at times very sad.
This is her story so that she may never be forgotten......

About Aspen
Aspen was born March 6, 2001. She was born with some unexplained complications and spent 18 days in the Newborn ICU at Primary Children's Hospital. After being home for 3 wonderful weeks, on April 16th, 2001 we received the heart wrenching news that our 6 week old baby had leukemia and would have to start weeks of Chemo therapy and prepare for a Bone Marrow Transplant. On August 22nd she received a Bone Marrow Transplant. Her brother Bobby was a perfect match donor. All seemed to be going well until September 25th when she began having breathing problems. Our sweet baby girl passed away on October 14th, 2001 after suffering severe complications of her Bone Marrow Transplant. We love her and miss her everyday! Although our hearts are broken we find great comfort in knowing she is ours, and we will have her once again. Until then she will remain FOREVER in our HEARTS!
We had you for awhile
We held you as our own.
For just a little while
Then Heaven called you home.
You taught us how to love
More than we thought we could.
You give us faith
To live the way we should.
When we need courage
'till the dawn
When we need strength
to carry on
We'll smile and remember you.
And though we long
to hold you tight
We know your safe
with God tonight
And we'll smile and remember
we had you for awhile.
And when the nights are long
And we wonder where you are
We'll look to heaven
Though night
makes it seem so far.
We'll know the stars
up in the skies
Are just the twinkling
of your eyes
And we'll smile
and remember you.
And though we long
to hold you tight
We know with God
you'll be alright
And we'll smile and remember
We'll have you once again.
We love you Aspen
We held you as our own.
For just a little while

And we'll smile and remember
We'll have you once again.
We love you Aspen
