Amelia Riedi passed away in the early hours of June 18.  As if she knew I wanted to be with her when the time came, Amelia waited for me to come home from being out of town before it was time.  I will miss her adorable nose, amazing perseverance, and sassy attitude – she taught me so much and I am beyond grateful I was able to be her mom, even though it was just for a few months.  Rest in peace, sweet Amelia, and know you are loved and deeply missed.
