Where to begin, I guess I should start from the beginning. 44 years ago and some odd months I prayed and I asked God for a little girl. 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. As time went on the doctor said that you was a boy but I knew different I told them that you was a girl your name was going to be April and that you was a 7 months baby of course they thought I was crazy because doctors know everything so they think. Well 7 months later I went into labor they had to do a C-section and when they rode me into the operating room the doctor told me you was the first premature baby to be born at Henry general hospital and they would have to l lifefight you too Grady tell him I said no you won't I said she will be premature underweight but she will be okay they said ma'am you are having a boy and we will have the life flight him to Grady I said okay you will see. Well after surgery they said ma'am your little girl is fine she's in the nursery and we don't have to lifelike her how did you know I told him I said God told me they looked at me like I was nuts. God gave me my prayer he answered for the last 44 years he has answered my prayers everyday concerning you God use you as a tool through all of your illnesses to teach me to depend on him only for he is God he made my faith strong he gave me courage and strength and more patience than I wanted he gave me a daughter that was not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside you always put God first you had a gentle Spirit everybody that met you loved you you have more courage in your little Pinky that anybody I know you never blamed God for your illnesses you always said Mama don't worry God's got this even when you were real sick you still made me laugh when God took you home he not only answered your prayers he also answered mine because that's so how sick you were and how frail your little body was and I asked God please take her back home with you so now my darling like that song you Love your resting and then they'll start hands of our Lord Jesus he gave you to me for 44 years and I will always thank God everyday for that you got your wings I will never forget you how could I you will always be my bestie I love you sweetheart I'm going to say good night now before I flood this phone with my tears. Without my love Mama

Oh. My where do I begin. April was a very kind hearted extra special piece of my heart. We had some good times together from going dancing to just sitting at the table playing card's. Or just talking about crazy boy's! I will definitely miss her calls and messages on Facebook. My little sis you will be missed for sure. Till we meet again.
