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.

Laura loved going to
the Midland
School 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 there were more of these events that I could have done with her.

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.
