Letters of Love

I would love it if everyone (even people we don't know) wrote a comment to Ella. I'm slowly putting together a book of her life as a blog subject, and would love to include birthday wishes for her. If you would just make sure and put your name in case it doesn't automatically show up...I'll print them all out and give them to her. Some day it will be a huge blessing to her to see how many people loved her.

Ella,

You have changed so many peoples lives in a way you will never understand. You have taught us to seize the moment and never take anything for granted. You have taught us no matter how much we can love, we can love a little more. You have taught us that just when we thought we couldn't take anymore, we can. You have taught us to trust God and put our faith in his hands. None of these lessons you have taught us have been easy, but I am so thankful that you gave them to me anyway. I love you so much and have enjoyed your last 2 years and look forward to many more to come!! Love Always, Maggie

Happy Birthday Ella Bella! Although I have not met you (I Can't Believe That!), you have brought much joy to my life. You are indeed a blessed little girl.

Dear Ella,

Never have we known a little girl with so much joy in her soul and who brings so much joy to others simply by her presence. You are an amazing gift of God to everyone you touch. I know that even in the joy, it cannot always be easy for you, but you exemplify what it means that with God, all things are possible. We are so glad for the opportunity to know you and your amazing family.

Love,
Cindy, Christianne, and Aidan

Ella,

Our family has been blessed by knowing you and your parents. We have seen God's hand in the miracle that you are. We are so thankful that your Mom so lovingly shares your journey, so that we can watch you grow. You are a precious gift and beautiful light of God's love. We love that smile!

Ella,
What an amazing and beautiful girl you are, and such an inspiration to us all. At such a young age you have shown more strength than most adults possess. Your mom loves you so much and shows us daily what the devotion to a child should be, and the faith that she has in the Lord represents a Godly woman and a wonderful role model for you. My mom always says...cherish every day and the small details, smile often, laugh often, love others, and above all love God.

With all our hearts,
Bubba, Elizabeth and Gracie McGuire

Ella, I, too , have been blessed by watching you grow into such a precious child. We have been blessed on May 9th, with our 6th granddaughter, who was 6 weeks pre mature, weighing 4 lbs. 14 ozs. Her name is Gabriella, and I am sure that we will probably call her Ella. You are always in my prayers. Carol

lovely idea....

Dear Ella,
I know you through your pictures, your videos, and your mommy's words. Your smile makes me light up whenever I see it, I can only imagine how it makes your family feel! Believe it or not, you are an inspiration to me. You bring me hope and make me feel positive about my own daughter's future. Olivia is a little over a year younger than you, but has some of the similar challenges that you have faced in your short life. Maybe one day you two will meet and giggle together and be girly and sweet and make your mommies cry thinking of just how far you've come in your lives. Ella, I wish you a wonderful birthday and a year ahead full of happiness and love.
hugs & kisses,
Carol
