Today marks eight months that we lost our Izzie. She was known in our household by a myriad of different names... Izzie Bear, Izzie Girl and Nini, among others. It's amazing to me how much I can still miss her after all this time. She was a part of our lives for just a short time, but she made such an impact on our hearts. We will never forget her.
As Halloween approaches, one of our most favorite holidays, I ask that you think of Izzie and all the light she brought to our lives. I know I will see her again one day, just like she was before she got sick.
Here is a picture of her from December 2007. You can see what a little butterball she was back then! Thanks for the pic, Laurin.
