Well Meg, another Halloween has come and gone and you weren't here to help me hand out candy. I know we always talked about handing out the Mardi Gras beads that we caught at all the parades in Monroe, but I just can't bring myself to give them away. You and I caught those together. They come with alot of memories. So every year I give out 4 or 5 strands. You promised me you would be here to help me through this life, but you're not. They tell me that the second year is the hardest. I do find that it gets harder every day. I just don't know what to do. I'm lost without you. I miss you so much. Stay close to me. I love you. Mom

| Mom | A year, a lifetime.... | March 30, 2009 |
Meg, it just doesn't seem like it's been a year. Yet it seems like a lifetime ago. Where did my year go? You were just here and now you're gone. Nothing is important to me anymore. The things of this world are just that, things. They don't mean a thing. I have so much I want to tell you. We've got so many movies to catch up on. Why does everyone else still have their daughters and their life goes on while mine is completely shattered? It's not fair. I know that this is all part of God's plan, but I just can't see how his plan could take my only child. We were so close. We shared everything. Thank you for making those 20 years of my life the best 20 I'll ever have. I love you more than anything.

| Mom | What if... | March 30, 2009 |
I often think about the "what ifs" alot. What if on this day last year in October GOD would have come to me and said, "I'm taking Megan home to live with me in Paradise one week from tomorrow. " My initial reaction would be, "Why GOD?" Then a stream of questions would follow afterwards. "How GOD? What time GOD? Will she suffer GOD? Is it something I've done GOD? Please GOD can't you just leave her here a little bit longer for me?" That's why He's GOD. HE knows the best way. How in the world would I have ever been able to survive the next week knowing what was going to happen? That's why it's best we don't know. Even if HE would have told me when she was born that I would only have her 20 years, I would have dreaded it so the older she got. I couldn't have enjoyed having her. So I guess what I'm trying to say is Thank You GOD for not telling us everything. Just take really good care of her for me.
| Dr. Ralph Armstrong | The miracle of birth | March 30, 2009 |
Every birth is a miracle. We all start as a couple of cells and develop into a beautiful baby, then a child, then a teenager and then an adult. Somewhere along the way God breathes into us a soul that gives us eternal life with intelligence, personality, and emotions that allow us to interact with our families, friends and acquaintances. When God brings the soul back to heaven with Him we are left with cherished memories and a "hole" in our hearts that can only be filled by family, friends and acquaintances. When Megan was born, as her mother's obstetrician, I became one of the people in her life that would feel the loss after she is gone. This is why I feel the compulsion to remember her and be a part of this community that gathers around her family and friends in our tribute to her life on earth. We won't know until we can ask God directly why He took her soul back so early, but someday we'll all know the answer. Everything happens according to God's plan for us. All we can do is try to understand, this is the plan for our lives too.

| Mom | The last of the firsts.... | March 30, 2009 |
This is the last holiday of all the "first" holidays without you. But will that make it any easier? I don't think so. It's always going to seem like a "first" holiday without you. This will seem like the first Thanksgiving and the first Christmas without you. But it won't be. And yet it seems like forever ago that you left. Why is it so hard today? Labor Day isn't really a significant holiday. I don't think it's the fact that it's Labor Day, I think it's just the fact that it's another day that I'm still breathing here on this rotten earth without you. I miss you Meg. Hold me close to you today, like you do every day.
I love you,
Mom

They whom we love and lost
are no longer where they were before.
They are now wherever we are.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you so much, Meg. You know what for. I can't do this without you. I need you to look after me. If I just knew half of what you knew I wouldn't have these simple computer problems that I have. But so far you've been there to help me along the way. Thanks baby. I love you so much.....

What do you say when someone asks how Meg is doing. She's doing better than you and I. You can't blame them for asking. How were they to know? Yet, it's like a deep wound that just won't heal. And every now and then it will pop open and bleed again. The pain never stops.
Went to some of our old places today. I shouldn't have went. The day just got worse as it progressed. I ran into one of your friends that was shopping with her Mom. Then if that wasn't bad enough, I stopped to straighten your flowers in the curve. They're cleaning it off. It's going to be a beautiful place some day to someone. But for me, it's got too many bad memories.
And you never threw me any pennies today. I needed one so bad. Maybe I just overlooked it. Maybe it was there the whole time. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. I miss you so much. I never knew a heart could ache so badly. Watch over me while I sleep. I just need to know you're there.
I love you,
Mom
