Chelsea Justine Chiala



In honor of my little niece Chelsea, I am starting up my blog again tonight. She has helped us put our busy lives on "pause" and re evaluate what is truly important - love, family, friends and faith. At 9 weeks of age she suddenly left us; way too soon. There really are no words, no explanations, no real reasons, but we will accept what life has dealt us and move forward.
She was truly the most beautiful little girl you have ever seen.
Life is so precious.
On the day after she passed away, a butterfly hatched out of a cocoon just above the last place she closed her eyes to sleep. No one knows how the cocoon came to attach on the window just days prior, but this beautiful creature appeared - blue and pink spots. The butterfly just sat on the step outside the window for a while and eventually flew off. Truly a sign from God.
We love you Chelsea, thank you for being with us and thank you for helping the babies that needed your organs to live on in your memory.
May you rest in peace: 9/29/10 - 12/4/10.
