Riding 4-wheeler, playing with her bubble wand in the sun, listening to music and playing in the pool. Kya loved snuggling and swinging. She loved lunch with friends at school on Wednesdays and playing with her cousins. Kya was a little jokester and prankster and always had to add her two cents.

" A Child of Mine Author Unknown I?ll lend you for a little while A child of mine, God said For you to love the while she lives And mourn for when she?s dead It may be six or seven years, Or forty-two or three But will you, till I call her back Take care of her for me? She?ll bring her charms to gladden you And ? should her stay be brief, You?ll have her lovely memories As a solace for your grief I cannot promise she will stay For all from earth returns But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I?ve looked the whole world over In my search for teachers true And from all beings that crowd life?s land I have chosen you Now, will you give her all your love Nor think the labor vain. Nor hate me when I come to take This lent child back again I fancied that I heard you say ?Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joys Thy child will bring The risk of grief we?ll run We will shelter her with tenderness We?ll love her while we may ? And for the happiness we have now know Forever grateful stay.? But should the angels come for her Much sooner than we?d planned, We?ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand."
