Brielle's Way

Brielle was the light to my world. Since the day I gave birth to her my life revolved around this little girl. 

I know we are not suppose to make idols of anything, and I have asked God to forgive me. 

When she said jump, I jumped...and you have all been witness! 

I got better… but Brielle always got her way. 

She loved mommy hugs, and I loved BriBri hugs, God made her little body to fit perfectly in my arms.

I breathed in every bit of her, she gave me joy, love, courage, strength, endurance and peace. She was my Brave Little Brielle.

She was a little piece of Heaven, because of my life with her, I came know and accept my savior Jesus Christ, and He change my life through her. 

Bri always made sure I was close by, so she went where I went, I made stations for her all over the house. 

I was her transportation, her hands and feet... and then as she demanded many also played that role.

Bri was the best boss ever! Our little boss-baby! She was so demanding, she seriously had no mercy. 

She was going to get her way, one way or another. She always won!

I can go on and on...share a million stories. 

But, I know you all already have an idea of the great love and bond between us, from sharing her with the world throughout her life.

These 8, almost 9 years blessed our lives in so many unbelievable ways.

She left us in such great peace. 

I know it was a surprise to many, but God gave me an overwhelming feeling the last day I was with her to talk to her about going home to Jesus. She knotted her little head in agreement. I had been talking to God all weekend, I told him I was ready and she was too. 

We watched little mermaid and combed each others hair with her dinglehopper. 

I also painted her pretty nails.

We hugged, kissed and loved on each other so so much. 

My forever baby, my BriBri, my mamas, my little piece of heaven, I cannot wait for the day our Lord calls me home. 

To reunite with you and your sister and be in the presence of our Heavenly Father.

To be in Heaven is to be with Jesus. 

For now I will miss you and remember you for the joy, love, sass and spunk you brought to my world. 

I will forever be your mommy, mama, mom, Kim, Kimberly Etzel.

Te amo. I love.... I love you more!
