Caroline enjoyed wearing the dress while dancing to music with Maren. They went outside and picked a matching pink flower. It was tender and sweet to see such a healthy, vibrant little girl dressed up in such a special gown.

A Dress for a Princess
Caroline discovered a pretty pink dress and crown hanging in a bedroom closet upstairs. It was Sarah's favorite princess costume. I had carefully tucked it away in the closet over two years ago. Caroline brought it to me eagerly requesting that I help her put it on. I explained to her that it was very special because it had been worn by Sarah. As I placed the small crown on her head I was reminded of the last time Sarah wore the costume. Although her body was swollen from steroids, wearing the gown made her feel and look beautiful. It surprised me how well the dress fit Caroline. It was a reminder to me that she is now the same age that Sarah was at the time of her diagnosis.

What a dear moment for these two sisters! I hope you felt Sarah near as this dress was brought out to be enjoyed again. It must bring a flood of memories and feelings to the surface - I hope they are joyful and sweet.
What cute girls you have. We miss you guys.
Two beautiful little girls! XO
I agree with Tiff. She took the words right out of my mouth. Their sweet smiles just melt my heart!
These two little beauties are indeed princesses, who have brightened the lives of all they know and love. I am certain heaven is smiling!
What a sweet moment for you and Caroline. Both girls look beautiful in that dress!
I just know Sarah was smiling in heaven to see her sweet little sister Caroline enjoying such a special dress. What beautiful princesses.
When I was at Mom's house yesterday I noticed she had printed off the pictures, framed them and put them on her desk in her craft room. I'm sure it was emotional seeing Caroline wear her big sister's special dress. What pretty princesses your daughters make!
Tears running down my cheeks......Oh, how I miss dear Sarah. I just can hardly believe that baby Caroline is now the same age. I love these pictures!
They both look beautiful. And what a serene Mama who lets her little one dress up in such a special dress.
I can imagine Sarah watching her sweet baby sister getting to dress up in her beautiful Princess dress and being so happy to see it loved and enjoyed again. So sweet.
Caroline wears it well. She looks like quite the lady. These things will help her feel close to Sarah who loved her so very much.
