small little girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She is so beautiful, my little girl. I fall to my knees as tears
start to flow. I take the wet cloth that I brought, and wipe the dirt, and grass off of the stone.
As I kneel here next to the small stone. That shows my little girl once lived on this earth, but now lives
with her saviour in heaven. She was a gift from god, and oh what a beautiful gift she was. All I have now
are the memories of the short little life that she had shared with me.
One day after school she came bounding through the door, “Look mommy I wrote my name” she yelled.
“I see” I answered. She had wrote the word Brandy with a purple crayon. I commented on the color, and she
said, “Purple is my favorite color”. I then took the paper that she had written on, and hung it on the
refrigerator door. I then told her she did very well. She was so excited at what she had done.
Every time I place flowers on her little grave they are always purple. I have taken her favorite color and
made it mine. It is all I have left. Next to her favorite song, which was Jesus loves me. It was the only song
she knew, and she sang what she knew of it all the time. I miss her so, but knowing that she is with Jesus
gives me comfort.
She loved to run and play. Never met a stranger, and loved everyone she met. This would always worry
me, I would often tell her you can not speak to every one you see. There are some bad people out there who
would take you away from me.
A stranger did not take my child, causing her death. She slipped off from my sisters house, and drawn in
a river nearby. She had loved the water, and was not afraid of it. I used to sit and watch her play in her little
pool at home. She would have played in it all day if I would have let her. I never realized that one day water
would take her little life.
I know that at this moment my little girl is playing in heaven, more than likely in water that can never
hurt her again. She gets to play in front of Gods thrown. I know she is having the time of her life. I know I
would. I try to picture her there. Not one tear in her eyes, because she misses her mommy. I can see her
playing with all the other children there.
Purple is the most beautiful color God made. It is the one color that can make me happy, and sad just by
hearing the word or seeing the color.
My heart aches to see my beautiful little girl again. To be able to see her and touch her would be
wonderful. I have two other children whom I love and adore. A son, and a daughter. They were to young to
remember her. Although I have told them about her through out the years. Brandy was my oldest, and she
loved her little brother, and sister.
Even more than I would love to see my daughter again, whom I loved with my all heart, I long to see my
Lord and Savoir. Jesus is first in my life where he should be. Without him I could not make it through
another day. God has been, and ever shall be my rest, and my comfort. He lifts me up when I am down, and
is always at my side.
I thank my Lord, and Savoir for the time I had with her. She was a sweet gift from him, mine to keep
only a short while, and I cherish every moment I had with her. I look forward to the day, when I can kneel at
Gods throne with all of my children. What a glorious, and wonderful day that will be.
