On this day, as each and every day that has passed since we last held hands, I hear your voice and I answer you. I hear your laughter as I think about the silly things we used to talk about and I smile. I feel your enormous hugs as you pull me in toward you and I almost fall over as you say "Muaaah"! so clearly that I feel warm and safe knowing you are close to me.
On this day, I hear you sing. I hear your little voice as you finish the line to our favorite song, just as you always have. And today, it sounds louder and clearer to me, as I know that is because you are always close and have never left me. I believe this and I always will. I will never stop missing you my sweet girl.
Happy Birthday in Heaven my Angel and sing our song again with me...
"Do you remember when, we used to sing ... La te da ... with you, my brown eyed girl. You, my brown eyed... (I hear you)
Always and always...

I would like to share something Lauren wrote back in grammar school. She was eleven years old. I found it in her closet a couple of weeks ago. She typed it on her adaptive keyboard at school. It was entitled "My Christmas Wish" and was made into a beautiful card for us with a red construction paper cover and a big green Christmas tree on the front. She was proud of it!
MY THREE WISHES
December 16, 1998
This is the time of year when people have many wishes. If I could have three wishes, my first wish would be for a peaceful world. I would make sure that all the countries got along and nobody fought. It would be a caring and wonderful place for people to live.
My second wish is for my parents. I wish Mom and Dad a beautiful and fun time at Christmas with Tyler and I. They are very special people in my life and I love them both a lot.
My third wish is for me. I wish I could be able to dance like a ballerina. I love to dance with my Mom, but ballerinas are very graceful and pretty. I am a ballerina when I dance with my Mom. I look a bit different, but I dance well.
Lauren
At the time, it was hard to read what Lauren wrote about wishing she could truly dance like a ballerina. I realized she was just being honest and I respect that, but it was still painful. When I found this a couple of weeks ago, however, it was no longer a weight on my heart to read. On the contrary, my heart and my grief are lightened by this, as I know that Lauren may finally dance like the ballerina she always was in her heart - full of grace and joy and freedom. It felt like a gift. That's what prompted me to share this on Christmas day. I hope it lifts the hearts of all who read this.
During the last month before Lauren passed, I had a dream that she was sitting next to me on the couch and she just got up and started walking away on her own. I jumped up to help her but she did not want me to or need me to help her. I dreamt this same dream on two different nights, a week or so apart from one another. Now I see that I was being shown that Lauren was ready to walk into her freedom. And so she is!
Merry Christmas, Lolabelle!
(and Merry Christmas to all who love her)

Happy Birthday to my best girlfriend, in Heaven. Today I am leaning in to your love, Lauren, and asking to be wrapped up in one of your big signature hugs.
Our lives were so intertwined with one another since day one, it really did feel like one life instead of two. So, I'm working hard to find my footing here without you physically right beside me, though I know in my heart that you are closer to me now than ever possible in life. It's still hard.
I miss your big laugh, LoJo. You really do have the best sense of humor and we would laugh a lot! And what a flair for the drama! ... so much so, that you actually wanted a stage name when we would kid you about that. After some deliberation, you chose "LoLo LaRue." We thought it was hilarious the way you wanted us to call you "Miss LaRue" and would want to sign your art work "LoLo LaRue." But you were quite serious and whenever we would laugh, you would say, "not funny, Mom!" -- which only made us laugh harder :)
There were plenty of times when you were trying to be funny, though. Like when you would call my name literally every two minutes and I would finally say, "please Lauren, just for five minutes, don't say Mom." There would be maybe thirty seconds of silence and then you would call out "Hey You!!" Laughing away.... I miss that.
You have been talking about Joan for so many years, almost everyday. And now you finally get to be with her. I am truly happy for you. It gave me great peace to know that she was waiting for you and I know that as soon as you left our arms, you were in hers. To be completely honest, I'm jealous. I wish I could be with both of you.
For so many years you wore that t-shirt that said "if they don't have music in Heaven, I ain't goin!" I thought about that shirt the day we had to say goodbye and I prayed that the music was playing loud and clear for your big entrance. I know one thing for sure, if it wasn't playing then, it surely is now! And if a slow song happens to come on, you'll be the one yelling "SWITCH IT!!"
On our last day together in the hospital, you were so very sick. We still didn't know at that time just how sick you were, but you probably did. I was holding you up completely against me. You were in so much pain and you couldn't hold your head or even open your eyes anymore. But you picked your little hand up just a bit and whispered "dance." I will never forget that moment for as long as I live. I asked you if you wanted me to dance with you and I heard the quietest "mmm hmmm." So we held hands and I sang you a quiet song and we danced together one last time. I didn't know that would be the last word you would say to me. I didn't know that it would be our last dance. I am so grateful for that moment now.
So, on this day, your birthday, I hope and pray that you are dancing in Heaven like you have never danced before, completely at peace and completely free! You deserve that so much, Lauren. You have worked so hard and gone through way too much in this life. But you did it with a lot of grace and a lot of love and, more often than not, a great big smile on your face. I am so very proud of you. You truly are my hero.
Save me a dance, Miss LaRue. I love you forever.
Mom

I will keep the memories of Lauren and her family within my heart. She was a loving part of my life, and the closeness that we felt for each was obvious. When we were together, she brought laughter and happiness which warmed my soul. I was so lucky to have been her BFF.
Memories of concerts and plays that we attended come to mind. Music filled our souls. Our trips to Blackrock to see and feel the Long Island breeze along with the warmth of the sun on our faces were times I will recall forever.
Thank you, Lauren for your love, and thank you to her family for letting me be part of her life.

Lauren is always on my mind. I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a major force in this world and in mine. The “Wow” girl. The “John” girl. Love you guys and your girl. Tyler as well. I remember the video you sent me of him playing guitar and singing to her. So sweet. She sure did love her music! May your heart be filled with all the positive memories. xoxo

My dear Lauren,
Every word we could have said, every song we could have sang, every dance we could have danced, every hug we could have hugged and every squeaky kiss we could have shared...we did it. We did it all. My life and who I am is because of you. You taught me how to live, to love, to accept, and to forgive. But most of all, you taught me how to rise to become someone I never thought I could be. You managed (without too much difficulty), to mold me into that obedient person who melted in the palm of your hand as I ran to perform every task and request you desired. And I never minded, not once, but you know that. Every minute we were together was a gift. And that gift will continue to keep giving - it will be in everything that I see and do because everything reminds me of you.
My life is forever changed and I promise, I will live as you taught me, I will be strong because you are strong. I will move forward, knowing that I am so lucky because I get to take you with me wherever I go. When I hear music, I will know that Heaven is dancing and everyone there is holding hands because of you.
I love you forever, with all of my heart, my beautiful, brown eyed girl.

My sweet Lauren. Thank you for filling my heart with love, for your never ending hugs and kisses. I will remember making you laugh so hard, you would have to catch your breath! Thank you for giving me that gift of bringing you some joy. We were blessed to have you in our lives, if only for a short while. Your love was unconditional and so abundant, all you asked for were hugs! That’s what I will take away, our tiny teacher. I will miss you forever. Dance away, “little girl!”
