On this day, 8 years ago, our precious Paige Elizabeth was born at 4lbs. 11oz. and 18 inches long. She was born 4 weeks early. Born with complications, she only lived for 26 hours. We got to hold her the last minutes of her life. Both our parents were able to be there with us.
Paige has blessed our lives in more ways then we can count. Our kids will always know of their baby sister and how she came into our family. As a tradition, for the first 4 years, we let 26 purple balloons go and her graveside.
On her 5th birthday we decided to start getting the number of balloons for how old she would have been. This year we (I) decided to get 8 white balloons, to represent as if she was getting baptized.
