*never before seen* pictures of McKenzie Lee

i have been debating on if i should share these or be selfish and keep them to myself. I finally decided that i wanted to share them here because this is my place, and she is my beautiful daughter. These pictures have been safe and sound in "McKenzie's box", in my memory box of her stuff that the hospital gave me. Also included in this box are....
her foot prints
the comb they used on her hair
the measuring tape they used
the flower that they took her pictures with
her name thing for her bassinett at the hospital
a bracelet that the auxilary members made with her name on it
all of her and my hospital bracelets
the card that came with the flowers from all the MB ladies (i added that)
the thing from her funeral (i added that)
the proof of pictures from them taking her hospital pictures
they also gave me a memory book with her hand and foot prints in it, a lock of hair with a ribbon on it, all of her stats written inside of it.

this is my special box, my box of memories and i treasure every little thing in that box. Anyway here are the pictures.




her long feet and really long toes!
literally the VERY VERY first time i held her!

She is beautiful...I cannot fathom the heartbreak her death was, I am so very sorry. Your family does have its own very special angel now.

I know this was from months ago, I just wanted to comment because your little McKenzie Lee touched my heart.
