Sometimes in life they say the best things are worth waiting for.  Sometimes those that touch our lives come and go more quickly than we had hoped.  I want to pay tribute to a little girl I call "Deeva's Little Surprise, An Unexpected Gift."  She came too early for her body to survive, but she put a strong and courageous fight as she reminded myself, my family and coworkers the true meaning of Christmas, love and life.  May she always be remembered.

     It was a pleasure to be a part of her short existence and she will always be remembered.

 Deeva's Little Surprise, An Unexpected Gift

Kaia...

     An exuberant girl who made the meanest people smile and laugh.  She was a constant companion for her grandmother and kept everyone in line.  She loved children, people and her furry friends a great deal.  She was loved by Meridee and Kea who helped bring her into this world and by myself and family who experierenced her growing up, enjoyed her cuddles, licks and energy.  A difficult part of life is when those we love leave this world with no concrete answers.  Her spirit is a mystery as well is the reason for her passing.  She is loved and missed every day.
