A la la la la leia

One of the sweetest souls I've known in my whole life. Precious, innocent, and beautiful. An Angel on Loan from God. Spending time with her was one of my very favorite past times. I love that girl more than words can say. I can't say "loved". Because even though she has passed away, nothing will ever separate my love from her. Nothing will ever separate me from my little Aleia. Even though she is gone from this world physically, she's still very present with us all to this day. When Aleia sends me a sign, there's almost always some sort of shenanigans involved. Her soul seems to continue to be that of a child in many ways. I can't imagine the joy and love she must be feeling in Heaven. Throughout her earthly life, Aleia had many limitations physically. Now that she is in Heaven, God gave her the body she didn't have on earth. She no longer knows the earthly limitations she once knew.
Don't get me wrong though, Aleia could be a little stinker. I just want to remember Aleia, I want to memorize everything about her.
If I could have just one more day with her, one more day, I would give anything for that. To just memorize everything about my precious friend. I would never want to forget her precious smile, looking into her beautiful green eyes, having her sit in my lap, even though she was getting almost too big for that. The girl loved her Barney. She would watch Barney all day, every day if you let her. She loved to take a bath. I remember the smiles she would have on her beautiful face when we would spend time together. Together we would sing to each other, and when we looked into each other's eyes, it was like we saw the other person's soul. Connections don't get much more special than that. The cuddles, the kisses, the smiles, the singing. I'd give almost anything to see them just once more.
But Aleia is gone. I'll never forget that cold November morning. Two AM I get the call that my precious Aleia, my friend and pal had passed away. I didn't want to believe that it was true. Among the tears, I took out my winter coat and climbed into the car when a friend of the family arrived so I could see Aleia. Seeing her lying there...I can't describe it. It hurts too much. Reliving it in my head is bad enough. I've struggled to accept that Aleia isn't coming back. She's truly gone, not on vacation somewhere. I'll see her again someday. But for now, I'm left with a broken heart. It's not to say it can't be mended. Aleia took a part of my heart with her to Heaven, but she lives on in my heart as well. Never will I forget the lessons my girl taught me. I won't forget the love she showed me. My life is better for having Aleia in it.
Here is my angel. I love you precious girl more than words can say. I miss you so much.
