It's been two weeks since Mikey was born. He was with us for such a short time. I don't want to forget one detail of his little life. I always want to remember how our family was while he was here and how much his brothers and sisters loved him.
Alexandria cared for her little brother as much as any 10 year old heart could possibly do.
Immediately upon seeing Mikey she took him in her arms and loved him.
She noticed that his skin was a little sticky so she asked if she could bath him.
The nurse got the baby soap and the some warm water and showed
Alexandria what to do.
She was a natural.
I've always said I'm thankful that she makes a better mom than I do.
She helped to clean every part of his little body, knowing that he would tell her how much he appreciated it if he could.
Then she added the yummy smelling baby lotion.
She helped to carefully pick out a little hat for his misshapen head
and cute little pants.
They tried every shirt there was but nothing was quite right for our little Mikey.
She took care of him as good as she could for the short time that she got to spend with him.
What an example she is to me.
Dear Mikey,
We love you.
I hope you have a good time in heaven.
We'll see you there soon.

Love your big sister,
Alexandria

that last picture is heartbreaking. Such a sweet girl you have! Who took all these great pictures? That is so neat you have all of them. I have been thinking of you...
That's something that's made me the most sad is that Alexandria doesn't get to take care of her baby brother every day.
She's so loving. I kept thinking what a great nurse she would make.
What a beautiful and special girl she is. You can feel her huge heart a million miles away. She is a blessing to your family. Love you Alexandria :)
