Our hearts are forever broken by the loss of our sweet little princess, McKenna Dane' Johnson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALEN!!!

McKenna would be so proud of her big brother today. It's his 13th birthday. I'm sure she would have been the first in line to give him his spankings! Then she'd probably proceed to bug and annoy him until he was forced to tackle her to the ground and sit on top of her for a while. I wish she were here to celebrate with us!

Wow! Thank you so much for all the guestbook entries over the last month. As I read through them, tears were pouring down my face. Just knowing that you all "get it" and understand our grief and pain like you do, makes me feel so loved and supported. It also lets me know that you ALL still think of McKenna, and to me, her mother, that is the most important thing in the world. I want her to "live" forever! At least in peoples hearts and minds. Thank you for allowing her to "live on" in yours!

This journal entry is going to be short. I just wanted to share a few of my thoughts on this particular day, another "bittersweet" moment, as McKenna's big brother turns 13, with one sister missing from the party. :(

Hug and love your kids...they are such a precious gift!
Krista
