An Open Letter

Dear Chapel, Eli, Conor & Jude -
Last week, we lost a huge part of our family. Parker, your beloved friend, passed away. I want you guys to always remember that in the 3 years we knew her, she never once disappointed us. She was a dependable, loyal, honest and gentle soul. Parker was so very patient with each one of you, always encouraging and always finding ways to entertain you. To me, Parker was irreplaceable. She was my friend that greeted me at the beginning and end of the day with a smile. She never had a harsh word and always put a positive spin on the events of each day. As you grow older and time fades and you think back and remember Ms. Parker, I hope you remember the times she spent with you and the wonderful things she taught you and know how much she loved you. Little things, like strolling you around the block, playing in the back yard, taking you to the Children's Museum, letting you walk the dogs and water the plants, making cupcakes with you, taking you to karate and the library and the sandy playground. And when you do, I hope these memories bring a smile to your faces as big as the smiles you brought to hers.
