She’s in the sun, the wind, the rain, She’s in the air you breathe, in every breath you take. She sings a song of hope and cheer, There’s no more pain, there’s no more fear You’ll see her in the clouds above and hear her whisper words of love. You’ll be together before long, Until then listen for her song.

No words can describe the heartache, no words of comfort anyone can say. I've never felt a pain like this before a piece of my heart died with you. But I guess Heaven needed you more, but I can't understand exactly what for, is this a trial of my faith? a lesson to be learned? why did my baby come to earth then so quickly return? I gotta get up off the floor and trust that Heaven needed you more. I came home to an empty nursery, your cries and laughter won't fill this room, this was not the way I planned it. oh Lord I'm needing comfort from you. My arms are empty but you'll remain in my heart, and just remember Mommy loves you and we're not really far apart. Yes Heaven needed you more, and I'm starting to understand exactly what for, it's been a trial of my faith, so many lessons have been learned, yes my baby came to earth and then so quickly returned, but I'm up off the floor I know that Heaven needed you more. -Mikalene Ipson

🍓☕Valentine crepes with Caety in February 2012 at our favorite mother-daughter breakfast spot, #lititzfamilycupboard. How grateful I am for all the precious times we shared together; we had become such good friends. 💗 Just nine months after this picture was taken, family and friends gathered here with broken hearts for a luncheon following Caety's funeral service. 💔 Caety, thank you for being my daughter and friend. We had so many great moments together, didn't we? Happy Valentine's Day, honey. I love you so much. 💖💖💖 . #Caety #valentinesday #valentine #valentinebreakfast #breakfast #Lititz #lancastercounty #crepes #daughter #motherdaughterlove #motherhood #grievingmom #grievingmother #lossofadaughter #lossofachild #childloss #cysticfibrosisawareness #cureCF #cfirl #cflife #livingwithloss #copingwithloss #grief #love #sometimesjoy (at Lititz Family Cupboard Restaurant & Buffet)

I insisted on taking a picture that day because she looked so cute in that outfit. This was November 15, 2011, almost exactly a year before Caety left us. People with cystic fibrosis often don't look nearly as ill as they are. Caety, I miss you so much. 💜💜💜 . Archie is peaking through the window behind her. They died just months apart, Archie in August, Caet in November. 🐕 . #Caety #cysticfibrosis #invisibleillness #lungdisease #cysticfibrosisawareness #cureCF #cfirl #daughter #lossofadaughter #lossofachild #childloss #grieving #grief #grievingmom #grievingmother #mamagrief #livingwithloss #motherhood #sometimesjoy

I think she's blinking snowflakes off her eyelashes. ❄ Not the best picture of Caety but I love that she's out in the snow and wearing a Harry Potter hat. ⚡ This was from January 2005. Precious memories. ❄💙 💙💙 ❄ . #Caety #Caetywantsmetobeokay #grief #grievingmother #grievingfamily #childrengonetoosoon #childloss #lossofadaughter #lossofachild #livingwithloss #wintermemories #HarryPotter #harrypotterhat #harrypotterfan #harrypotterfamily #cysticfibrosis #cysticfibrosisawareness #cureCF #sometimesjoy
