It's hard to believe that today marks one year since we had to say good-bye to baby Peyton.

How can we possibly sum up the way this past year has changed us? When Peyton left this world, a beautiful piece our hearts left too. That unspeakable sadness remains, and will continue to remain. After all, things should be different. She should be here, with us.

Peyton, we know you are with God and with all of Heaven's other children. And we are trying to focus on what you have taught us through your strength and the sweet time we got to spend with you, hold you, and look into your beautiful eyes. Please continue to watch over your mommy and daddy, and help us all to see the light beyond the clouds and rain. We love you, Peyton Elizabeth- forever and always.
