stella rose

My sister is one of the most important people to me.  She is an amazing sister and friend, and has proved many times she would do anything for me.  As adults, there hasn't been anything more fun than seeing both rounds of our boys have such love for each other - both cousins and best buds - the cutest 4 little men I could imagine.  This past year we found out we'd be having babies just months apart again - so much excitement in the DeRosa family.  You've seen our Lily Anna, but we won't get to see sweet Stella Rose until we meet in heaven.  It's been such a difficult loss, especially for my sister- though her dear baby girl is in the arms of Jesus, it'd be nice to have her in ours here first.  Our girls may not have a sister but they should have had each other - a third round of cousins to see snuggle and giggle and make trouble together.  Today is her due date and instead of welcoming her, we are remembering her.  We love you baby Stella and forever you'll be a part of our family.
