Happy Birthday, Brady Judith

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

  2. Miss Iris Hathor must not have actually looked at this post before spamming you, Colleen. I'd like to think that most people in this world have a heart. Or at least common sense.

    Colleen, your post makes me sad. You have such a way with words. I wish I could have met little Brady. I bet she was just like you.

  3. Oh, Colleen, birthdays are always so hard, aren't they? For the memories of what was, and the knowledge of what will never be. I started listening to you on the radio in the mornings several years ago and felt a connection when I found you were a loss mom, too. I've always been so grateful for your willingness and ability to share Brady with us. She was beautiful. One day I imagine that I'll finally get to see my own daughter, and meet all the children she's had to play with, whose mother's I feel a connection to.

    I'm so sorry Brady isn't here to play with her brothers and sister. I know there is always a hole where she should be. Be kind to yourself today, Mama. It's a tough one.

  5. I sing that song all the time...but reading it here, on Brady's birthday...brings a whole new perspective.
    I am so very very sorry. I cannot imagine how you feel - I wish you didn't have to deal with this...thinking of you -
