Laura dressed
for her 14th Birthday, ready to go to school,
Laura was always so extremely happy &
very proud to say “I’m your Aunt Laura” to Ashley
which she is in this picture.
She then asked Ashley ‘can you talk?’ Laura wanted to just simply love her, hold
her, play with her and to help take
care of her in any way. It made her so very happy when she could, as
you can see she was on
It was one of the few times
her hands did not tremble or shake.

so much that she was lost on snow days & holidays.
On the weekends
she couldn’t wait until Monday to go to school.
On
Laura
“Laura
Laura was a happy, enthusiastic, and naturally polite young lady who came to school every day with a smile on her face
Laura loved books, animals, her family, her friends … and they
loved her.
Her teacher and classmates described her as someone who found the
simple joy in her daily routines and class activities …
As someone who knew how to be happy in the moment.
In honor of Laura, we would like to present the Laura
Laura’s enthusiasm, her love of family and friends, and her
ability to live fully and joyfully in each moment.
I am pleased to present the Laura
Daphne Esposito.”

Day long ago at The Midland School wearing a blue butterfly shirt &
matching hat.
Laura in the
library at The Midland School, reading a book she had picked out.
Laura loved
books and even more so loved when we read to her.
A shopping cart
relay race during a Dad & Me program at The Midland School.
Laura loved pushing
the cart but moved so very slow, so I pushed the cart as she
hung on to keep up.
I never knew how
happy she was during these events until I received this & other pictures
from her school.
She did ask me
from time to time if we could do more Dad & Laura things, I never knew how
happy they made her.
I wish I had
done more things with her.
Playing
a game during speech therapy at The Midland School in 2009.
Laura, so
proudly accepting her award at The Midland School.
On Tuesday night
She would not
stop so I finally did with my cell phone with only the 4 watt
night light on in her bedroom (no flash).
The first time
the picture was all black, I moved the night light
& took this second photograph, which I showed to Laura
and said ‘we can see
you now’, I almost never showed Laura the pictures on my camera let along my
cell phone.
Laura then told
me ‘thank you, I love you daddy’. I gave
her a kiss and said, ‘I love you too hon (honey),
please go to sleep so
you won’t be tired for school in the morning.’
Laura loved
going to the Midland School so much
that she was lost on snow days & holidays.
I cannot believe
that this is the last photograph of our beautiful angel we will ever have.
I love you Laura
& always will.
Daddy
