"Casey's memory will live on in each of us who were blessed enough to know her. Ray and I talk about her often - with the kids and when we're alone. She was truly a special gift from God. ... And every turtle we find in our yard is still named Casey. "
Ive thought about her often when dragonflies and butterfly's are nearby too, especially when they land on me and stay there for several minutes. Ive heard that family members who have gone on before us chose to visit in the form of a symbol that we will recognize as them , as a way to let us know that they love and miss us too.
I believe that , with all of my heart. I know that Casey didn't want to leave us , and that she was just too weak to fight anymore. I believe that she went with peace in her heart though because she had made the most of her life and her journey was over. I know I was told that in the year before her death , she read everything she could get her hands on about Muscular Dystrophy and dying. She was prepared , and was not afraid to die. She was afraid of being buried and being alone.
Thank GOD she told me that before her passing , because I was able to discuss what she wanted in the end. And in the end, she got everything she wanted . In the end I know she would have loved her celebration . In the end, I was not ready to lose her , and here I am 2 years and 7 months later , thankful for those symbols that show me she is still around, and thankful for the time we had together , even though I wish it would have been longer.
