When I was opening up my gifts and cards on Christmas Day, there was this card which happened to be the first one I opened. I read the first 2 lines and started to cry. I couldn't read it! I looked at Kim and he was crying. I handed the card to Matt and he started crying. So there we sat all crying. He handed the card back to me and I read it, crying the whole time. I cried many times since then just thinking about this beautiful card. This was our first Christmas in 16 years without Jessi and she is still very much missed. I know she's looking down from "Rainbow Bridge" and wishing she was still with us. We love you and miss you so much baby girl!
Kim did this all on his own. After 30 years and never really seeing a sensitive side to him, I think there's one there. He's always been so hard, non emotional and tough that I could hardly believe it when I read this card. He desperately misses his little girl.
I have to say that of all the beautiful gifts that I received which included a beautiful diamond necklace from Matt, this one truly touched my heart.

Oh Heather, So happy I got to know Jessi a little bit. That makes this more special than ever. To see her at Nana's birthday party..... The way she was so sweet giving her attention to her Daddy and Mommy. Even to the little puddle that she made.
I can see why this gift would be the greatest Gift of All. A real keeper!
Kim really went the extra mile on this gift.
How touching!!!! Loved it.
Hugs

How very poignantly touching; my big brother went the distance.
Tears were flowing here, too, when I opened your site, Heather.
Beautiful, beautiful Jessi. RIP dear girl.
