This is the slideshow we prepared for Hudson’s memorial service.
A child who brought so much joy. A life so wonderfully lived.
We love you, sweet Hudson, and we miss you more than we could ever say.
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and your beautiful family with us. I'm praying for you all today. Peace to you.

So, so, beautiful. I hope today's celebration of Hudson's life lifts a little of the pain of her absence. You are so loved by all of us.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you and Hudson today. The slideshow is absolutely beautiful. My favorite part is Hudson's face and all of the laughter with her smash cake on her birthday...so many treasures of your sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteone who gave and received joy and love... and continues to do so.

Thinking of you today and sending you love and peace. I never met her, but watching this I kept thinking that Hudson was so obviously happy, loved and cherished. She had a short but completely wonderful life, and I hope you can take a moment today to be proud of what loving, incredible parents you are. Praying that Jackson brings you newfound joy.
ReplyDeleteI did not know Hudson, but I do know that the world was a much better place with her in it. Much love to you and all of your family.

My heart just broke for you and your family all over again. Thank you so much for all that you share of your sweet girl. Hudson was obviously a very special child. Her smile and laugh are contagious. Your photo tribute to her was just beautiful. I got chills around picture 124 or so as I listened to the words of the song. I didn't want picture 132 to ever come since I know how it all ended way too soon. I am again so so very sorry for your loss. If good thoughts, love, and bubbles being blown all over the world could bring her back, she would be with you today. I am sending you a gigantic hug. We're blowing bubbles in California for your girl.

Thinking of you and your family, especially your beautiful daughter. So dearly loved and deeply missed. xo

I just cried through every beautiful minute of that video. It's so hard and hurtful to believe that she's really gone and won't be coming back. You do such honor to her memory, Mandy, every day. It's amazing and inspiring. I wish you peace on this day, and as you move forward. Her life was tragically short, but it really was so well-lived, and she was so well-loved, and it's a lesson for all of us in how to be the best humans we can be. We'll be blowing bubbles this afternoon too.

What a beautiful and amazing little girl.
ReplyDeleteIn seeing her photo of when she was a little little one, I am struck by how expressive and how Hudson her facial expressions were, even when she was just a few weeks and months old.
Thank you for sharing her beautiful and amazing photos and videos with us. I am so sorry that she is not here with you now. Even though I never had the honor of meeting her and you in person, I miss your little girl.
Aching for you today. What a beautiful little girl! Hudson clearly brought joy to all who knew her.
ReplyDeleteI had tears in my eyes all through this video. Thinking of you today. What a special little girl. I'm sure she's with you today in some way or other, and always will be.

What a beautiful child. I am crying for what you (and the world) have lost. I love the smash cake and the Duke clips. What a wonderful life you gave her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute...such delightful photos of a very precious little girl. Oh, how my heart breaks for your family...
ReplyDeleteThis morning on my way to work, the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" came on my ipod, and my thoughts immediately went to you guys and this anniversary...and just now when I heard those first notes at the start of the slideshow, it made me smile to know that from now on I will always think of Hudson when I hear that song.
Such a radiant child...I hope the memorial service today was a comfort to you. Please know that Hudson lives on in the hearts of so many ~ even those of us who never knew her. What an inspirational little life. Thank you for sharing her, as I am a better person because of her.
Much love,
~Jillian
No words other than it's just not fair....
ReplyDeleteNothing but love, light, memory and tears my friend. My thoughts are with you, Ed, and your beautiful daughter tonight. May Hudson's smile light up the stars tonight and shine down upon you with grace and beauty.
ReplyDeleteRemembering your sweet daughter with you and wishing for you a peaceful day.
ReplyDeleteHudson's video is beautiful. I wish so much that you were still hugging and taking photos of your little girl.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you Mandy.
We miss her too. Lots of love.
