Brian is getting things ready for Hailey's bday tomorrow. He made 4 dozen cupcakes decorated w/ "H"'s and the number "7" that she will share with her classmates. Brian admittedly said they were "not as good as Robynn's", but I thought they were absolutely PERFECT!
For those of you that don't know Robynn, personally, you need to understand her role in birthdays. I don't mean just her children's. but anyones birthday. They were never to be forgotten and they were never allowed to go by without you feeling superty duperty special! She always baked your favorite cake and decorated it with more beauty and love than should be legal! I don't know anyone other than my Nana who took celebrations of others to this extreme.
I know Robynn will be delighting in her sweet baby girl from heaven, but I can't help my sadness over her absence.
Please pray that Robynn's presence overwhelms us tomoorrow as we celebrate the gift of our

I think about Robynn every day. I think about her when someone is complaining about mundane things, forgetting to be grateful. I think about her when I see someone making bad choices for their body, taking their health for granted. I think about her when I see a parent being impatient with their child, forgetting to cherish each precious moment. It's during these observations that I wish the whole world knew of Robynn and how she lived her life. Of how bravely she fought so that she could have as much time as possible here and never took the simple things for granted. I know I will be forever changed and can't thank Robynn enough for such life lessons.
I have shared Robynn's story with a few close friends because I wanted them to feel as inspired as I have been. It feels like giving them a gift...the gift of Robynn. She has taught us all to live with gratitude. That is BIG! Although she may no longer be here, she will always be BIGGER THAN LIFE! Wow...what a legacy!
Speaking of legacies, Happy Birthday sweet Hailey! I pray you feel the love of your mommy every moment!
I remember several years ago calling Robynn to wish her a happy birthday and she said "What? You are aren't going to sing me Happy Birthday?". I thought she was teasing and said "Oh yeah, you don't want to hear me sing." She told me that she ABSOLUTELY did. I am sure it was quite painful for her to listen to me sing but she sure acted like she liked it! I learned a valuable lesson from her that day and also from her, Brian and the kids ALWAYS calling to sing to me on my birthday. I advise all of you to call your loved ones on their birthday and sing to them (loud and proud). I know Robynn will be smiling down on you!!!!
Love, Enni (Robynn's big sister)
Dearest Hailey Rae,

May your special day be as special as you are-I can remember celebrating you birthday at pre school and your mommy's yummy treats.
I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY(think of me singing it to you-like we did at school)
I love you Hailey Rae and am alsways thinking of you and Brady and Daddy.

Happy Birthday Miss Hailey. I remember when you were a little girl and your mom would bring you by my house and your hair would be in "piggy tails". I would always say you looked like the character "Boo" in Monsters INC. Your mom always laughed at me and I couldn't help but to play with those "piggy tails". You sure are growing up fast. Happy Birthday! --Kelly Brown (Howland)
Once again we are reminded of the special gifts of Robynn! I had the pleasure of a Happy Birthday song from Robynn on my phone and have listened to it many times in the last few weeks. I only knew her for two birthdays but she made both of them special. It makes me smile to think she did that for everybody, yet it is no surprise!Yet another reason to miss our beautiful friend. Love Sue
