Today was perfect. I felt the spirit so strong as I walked into the stake center. I knew Emmie was with us. I am going to miss her more than anything in this world. I would give up everything to have her for another year. She was such a happy little girl with a smile that could light up a room. I will miss her sweet spirit that has presided in our home over the last 8 1/2 years. It is a feeling of comfort that I can't explain. We definitely feel a sense of emptiness in our home now. My husband and I were truly honored to be able to stand as witnesses and testify of the wonderful experiences we were able to share with Emmie throughout her life. We could have talked for hours about her and how sweet she was. The entire day was perfect. We felt the love of others around us and felt like Heavenly Father was carrying us. It was so comforting. I can't begin to explain how truly grateful we are for the amount of people that came to support us and Emmie. We were overwhelmed and truly amazed by the amount of service that was dedicated to our family over the 10 days. Your prayers, kind words and thoughts have reached our home and it is a miracle in itself to be on the receiving end of something so wonderful as this. Thank you, thank you for the bottom of our hearts. I have felt so lifted and so much closer to my Heavenly Father. I feel his love... I really do. I look forward to the day I am reunited with my precious Emmie.
(Here are a couple pictures that my friend Kristyn has taken during this difficult time in my life. She is an angel and I can't express how grateful I am to have amazing friends. They have taught me how to be a better friend.)
I will forever cherish this photo... So precious
Thanks again... I am upset that I haven't been blogging and will be better. I have so much to share over the last 10 days. They have been very special to me and I know I will never forgive myself if I don't document them.

Tiffany, so sweet to read your words. What a tender time in your life and the lives of your sweet family. I continue to pray the Lords comfort and sustaining support as he lifts and carries you through this journey. How wonderful it is to have a knowledge that you will be with your little angel again someday, and to know that HE is with her now, and also with you as you feel HIS loving arms around you. God bless you all.
Tiff,
You are amazing! You have taught me so much about the true love of Christ. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. You truly are such an example to me, and I am so thankful to have a friend in my life that makes me want to be better... A better mom, a better wife, a better friend, a better person. Emmie is so lucky that you were chosen to be her mom. NOBODY could have done it better. I love you!
What beautiful pictures she captured of your family. I know there are SO many more of this past week & that you will always cherish them. Thanks again for letting us share this most tender time with you guys. I will always hold it close to my heart. We sure love Emmie & hope that you can feel her presence often.
Tiff I'm so glad you have felt peace this week. Emmie was a perfect spirit. You guys are great examples of love and service! She will always be close. I can tell my Mom is there for certain events and when we need her. You will be in my prayers. It is so hard to suffer a loss. But blessings do come, I've seen it from losing my Mom. Thanks for sharing everything Tiff. I wish I could have been there I bet it was a perfect memorial to the perfect angel girl! Love ya.... I live right by the Newport temple now so I'm so close to Laguna. Next time you come out we should meet up. Tell Jason he's in my prayers too.
Tiff-
Thank you for being so willing to post and share your testimony during all of this. I've been so inspired by your faith and your love. By sharing,I think you allowed a little of Emmie's spirit affect us all. What a gift! Thank you.
Lots of love,

Tiffany,
I doubt you'll remember me from school, but my aunt is MaryAnn Parry. It's been so fun hearing all about your cute family over the years, especially the many milestones in Emmie's life. I understand exactly what you're saying when you speak of having Emmie in your home. These perfect spirits truly are heaven here on earth.
I'm sorry to be a blog-stalker but I've had my testimony strengthened by your sweet words and those shared by Tracey and Audra. Our prayers continue to be with your family. What an amazing circle of support you have.
Hugs,
Kelli (Bair) Hatch
It was such a privilege to be able to attend Emmie's funeral and feel of her sweet spirit and hear your Dad and you and Jason talk about all your amazing experiences with her. I know you will miss her terribly but I also know she is such an amazing little girl who was willing to take on her challenges here on earth to teach others how to be Christlike. She has blessed so many people lives and will be so missed, but has gone on to do great things on the other side. I know your family will be protected and watched over by her for all the LOVE and sacrifice you have given her. Thanks for your amazing example! You have helped me remember what is important in life and inspired me to be a better mother. Love ya Tiff!!!
I guess in the words of Kelli (who I adore), I am blog-stalking too! :0) But I just wanted to offer my prayers and love and tell you what your testimony and example have meant to me and my family! I have looked in on your blog from time to time and my kiddo's have LOVED learning a little about your beautiful girls! I just wanted to say that I appreciate your example of love and service and your great example of what it means to live life with grace! Three of our sweet angels have special needs too, (cerebral palsy and other issues) and it's not an easy road to walk! You and your sweet family have walked it well! Many blessings to you and yours! Thank you for sharing Emmie with us, through your blog! Such a beautiful angel!
Love,
Ranee (McCarter) Hansen and Family
Tiff,
You, Jason and all your family truly amaze me.I don't know what to say except you have my complete respect and admiration.Please lets stay intouch....
Love to you all ,
Mary Halpin
I agree with everything that the others have posted. You and Jason are amazing and I look up to you both. What and example of service you are. I talked to my little granddaughter(Faith) that is 7 years old and told her about Emmie and shown her pictures of her. I told her that I wanted her to meet her someday in heaven. I want to do what your dad's mom did about the little boy that drowned. Emmie is an angel and I want my grandchildren to know that and to meet her. Faith is Ronnie and Aleia's little girl. This past 10 days I have read everything that Traci posted and I grew spiritually from it. Thank you for letting her share and Audra. I feel it has touched and affected a lot of people's lives. Please give your mom my love and tell her to call me. We're in the phone book or have her email me. We love you and will continue to pray for all of you. I hope Ava is doing ok.
You are right Tiffany, everything was perfect. Those of us at the funeral were privledged to hear you and Jason and your dad bear witness of the Plan of Salvation in such a real honest way. You have renewed my desire to "be a little better and to try a little harder". AND, Jason inspired me to be better at capturing life through a video camera - something I have not been good at, but wow - what a gift for you guys to have all that footage. Thank you again for sharing so much and allowing us to be a part of this challenging and sacred time in your life. I would love to help if there is anything I can do. Love you to you both.
ah love you tiff!
