Be Free

We first met Kaelyn and family at their home in early February 2014.

Kaelyn was C first pal, a big sister and a fellow comrade in their fight against SMA.

We saw the children celebrate their birthdays, had gatherings at home and at events, celebrated Christmas together and fought infections in the same hospital ward bed to bed. I remembered how she persistently called out to C so she could see him from her bed. Little Kaelyn was vain too! Like any 3-year-old, she loved to get her nails painted, to wear pretty clothes looking her best. She was a late sleeper, C usually gone to la-la-land way before she did. She had always been the cheerful girl (last I remembered she didn't want to be called baby anymore) who's ever ready to show off her signature smile and blink blink eyes. Above all, she was a brave warrior princess who fought hard in all her battles with nasty bugs and monsters (maybe except for the purple dinosaur Barney which she so adores!)  =)

This loveable sweet pea earned her wings and is now in a better, happier place where she runs free.

Kaelyn, you brought joy and showed many what selflessness and love is all about. You came into our lives, gave us hope and brightened our paths. We are so honoured to have shared and built memories together for the past one year. Thank you little angel. You will be fondly remembered and loved always.
