My dear, sweet friend Kellie lost her three month old son three years ago today. It is Heaven Day for baby Miles. It is Kellie's wish that on this day that we celebrate his life and mourn his loss that we work to bring SMILES FOR MILES -- to do something for someone else to bring a smile to their face.
So, in honor of this little man that brought so much joy to his family, I give a small token.
You can download this template HERE.
And here is a layout I did with it:
I love you Kellie. Cling to the One who holds your little guy tight in His arms.
Thank you! Very cute layout!

Thanks for the wonderful freebie! You do such a great job on your templates. I also love your honesty and vulnerability about your life. It makes me as a mom feel better to KNOW that all moms are not perfect. You always seem like such a supermom...but I love how you throw in little stories of reality (not to say that you aren't a great mom!).

What a sweet thing to do and such a beautiful 'pay it forward' in memory of Miles. Love the layout too.
It must have been really popular too because you have reached your download limit :) Which is actually really cool that you spread that much joy around in Miles memory!
