Cadence Yvette Moore was born on October 15, 2007 At Presbyterian Hospital of Allen. She was the most perfect and beautiful little girl I had ever seen. Her mommy Jennifer only had to push once to get her out! The delivery was fast and easy. I got a call that afternoon from Cindy (Cadence's Nana) to inform me that she was here! At that moment I got tears in my eyes; I was filled with joy and excitement. I had to get up there to hold her as fast as possible. I couldn't wait to get Braeden and Cadence together to interact with eachother. Jenn and I had so many plans for their future. It was so exciting to be pregnant together and to know that our babies were only about a month in a half apart. Two babies in one year; what a blessing!

Weeks went by and Cadence grew weak; she wasn't eating very much and her cry was very soft. We had no idea what could be wrong; we just figured that she was still coping with the new  environment. We went to Oklahoma the weekend of Novermber 3rd and stayed at Corey's house (Jenn's brother). Saturday when we got into town we all went to one of Racheals soccer games (Corey's daughter) and everything seemed okay. That night Jennifer was up with Cadence for a while; she wasn't really sleeping well and Jenn was worried something wasn't right. That next morning around 10:00 am she walked down the stairs with Cadence in her pink blanket that she was always in and sat down right beside me on the couch. Cadence was awake; but something didn't seem right to me; we heard her weezing and I felt that she wasn't able to breathe so I told Jenn to check her chest; at that moment all of our worlds came to an end. Cadence wasn't breathing. We all were shaking and didn't even know what to do next. I had Braeden in my arms and I was freaking out; all of the kids were downstairs; so I tried to get them out of the living room so  they wouldn't witness anything that would scare them. Dusty called 911 while Corey was attempting CPR on Cadence to get a breath out of her. We all were just praying and praying and praying that God would give us a miracle and bring Cadence back to us. The paramedics finally got there and were working on Cadence; they told us they were going to take her to the Children's hospital in Oklahoma. Jenn went with her while we got the rest of the kids ready to meet her up there. We finally got there about 25 minutes later and they were still working on her. Jenn was in a chair in the room praying and hoping that she would be okay. I was sitting in the room as well when the doctors turned around and told us that they had tried everything; that they couldn't get her breathing again. Everyone was just in a shock; crying and leaning on eachother because it hadn't even hit us yet that she was gone. Her precious body lay there on the table. It was the most horrible thing that I had ever witnessed in my life. How could God take something so sweet and innocent away from us?

Little Cadence passed away on November 4th, 2007. She was 3 weeks old. We were so lucky and blessed that she could be with us for such a short time. We got to meet her and spend time with her before she was called to Heaven. She was just to good for this world. She is in Heaven now, strong and happy.

Weeks passed and we finally got the autopsy report back; she passed from Congenital heart failure. Her heart was not strong enough for her. It just stopped.

It has been a long and hard 6 1/2 months; but we are all getting through it together. There is not a day that goes by that that little girl's face doesn't go through my mind. We always called her Princess Cadence; now she is not only our princess but God's princess. We will remember her with all that we have and continue loving her until we get to meet with her again someday.

"Sorry I didn't get to stay.
  To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I'm sorry that I had to die.

God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.

To help you look up and see
Both God and little me. 

I  wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.

But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.
God didn't take me cause' He's mad.

He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious...don't you see?

Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.

The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, someday.

Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you all, dear.

Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me."
