It's been a year since Leah passed away, on March 23rd, 2015

It's been a year since Leah passed away, on March 23rd, 2015, and yet, still it seems unimaginable she's no longer here. Time has passed slowly, time has passed quickly, but she remains in our hearts forever.



Leah recorded videos of Elly as a baby and uploaded them to her public photobucket account. These have been on the web since she's posted them, perhaps you've come across them if you googled her name. Now all 56 of her videos are combined in a single 36 minute video I've posted on YouTube (see embed below). Together they piece together a beautiful slideshow through Leah's eyes, of experiences with her first child Eliannah. Watch and you will see, what Leah's friend Kim said when viewing these "She was such an amazing mom and so in love with her kids". While the grief of her loss is raw while watching her recordings, you may find it's cathartic and what our cousin Rachael said was nice to "hear Leah's voice and laugh". I think you too will laugh along with Leah, aka Giggleah (her chosen photobucket username). There are of course additional recordings I and others made of Leah, that I'd like to post in the future.

  2. Thank you for sharing. I have been thankful to find these to hear her voice over the past year. She was the proudest Mom. Missing her and sending her entire family love and support today.
