It was a year ago today we buried our precious daughter.  She was born on a holiday (July 4th) and her daddy felt it was fitting to bury her on a holiday.  I remember thinking I would forever think of this day as Emmy's day. 

I don't know St. Valentine, but I do know Emily.  She showed us what true love is all about.  She brought us closer to understanding the love our Lord has for us.  We now know a self-sacrificing love that transcends any card and candy holiday.  And even though it hurt my mama heart to let my daughter's tiny body be lowered into that grave, I know it was only her body.  My Emily does not reside in the cold ground.  She rests in the arms of Jesus.

We love you, Emily!  Happy Emily Day!
