So it snowed, all day and all night. Needless to say we have a few inches and where stuck at home with no plans and nothing to do. Lucky for us I had made that trip to the movie store, and had asked for that Wii game for my birthday. We have had a good day of being lazy neither one of use even got dressed, besides going outside to play four about five minuets. It was nice. We can't help but miss our little Addison on days like this. To have seen her tiny reaction to the snow it would have been so much fun. She would have loved being our little snow bunny. Jumping around in it chasing Kolby, who by the way loves to go outside and run it...for about a minuet. Then he is ready to come back in. It isn't as fun to have this much snow and not be able to share it with our little girl. I had always dreamed that we would be able to dress her up in a little snow bunny suit.
It is funny to think of what life would have been like if she were here with us right now. She would probably be watching dad play Wii while mom cooked dinner. Probably oblivious to any change just know that it is unusual for her to see her Daddy this much but be happy he could be here with her, she is her daddy's girl:) Or at least we would be happy she was here safe with us.
On some of our Wii adventures Daniel decided he wanted to make a Addy Mii. For anyone not familiar with the Wii system you can make somewhat likeness of yourself and people who play with you and use them to play all sorts of games. It is fun and funny sometimes to see what people think of your looks when they are putting your Mii together for you, as was the case with mine. It is a good way to be thinner, younger and have styling cool hairstyles, since surprise, there aren't any for the curly Q's in the world like Addy and I. So Daniel created Addy. She is cute has pigtails, red as we can get, lots of freckles and the same nose that her dad's Mii has. Like in real life as similar to her father as she could have been. It was pretty cute if I do say so. It wasn't the fact that we don't have her now i know if she was here she would have had one so to make her a part of everything we do it seems fitting to make her a Mii. But it was hard to see.
He made sure she had the same outfit as him and I and made sure no one else looked like us just so you could see we were a family. It was hard to see that little Mii family mingling around. It should be like that in real life. She should be here and we should be able to hang out just like on days like today. It makes it all to apparent that we are missing someone and it makes moments like this hard. When Daniel exclaimed with pride that he had created Addy I just started to cry. Although we all know he didn't really create her God did I just couldn't help but think how true to reality that was. She was a part of us, is a part of us. God created her for us and made her a part of us. She is a wonderful gift that no one could ever take away from us. She might not be here in person but in spirit she is always with us. We will always do things and be aware of her not being here but we will continue to add her to all we do.
As he started to play the flight game the computer automatically places a passenger with you. Guess who is in the back seat of Daniels plane? He is flying his little Addy:) It was hard to sit there for me and watch that. She was looking around the world and just exploring with her daddy. Just how I always imagined it would be. Even if it is on a game for that short time she was with us again. I know that wasn't a happen chance. I believe with all my heart God placed that little Addy Mii in that plane for a reason. So we could enjoy her and let her be with us in spirit that day. It made it more like it should be even if just for a few minuets.
We didn't get to go put her headstone on the grave that day. It was too snowy, so it is still in my car. But I think God gave us that moment, the moment when she was with us again, so that we can get ready for hard times like that. He gives us a peace that can only come from Him and for that I am grateful. So if you ever play the Wii with us and discover there is a little person in our line up you will know it is our Addy and she is always with us even if we are just sitting around playing games. She is still the basis to all our decisions and will continue to be a part of our life forever.
My heart is with you.
