Smiley for Kylie Instagram

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” ~J.R.R. Tolkien "We choose to hold onto what is fair because that is what you taught us. But still, we’ve missed you every single day of the past 4 years. Even now you are a constant source of joy, encouragement, and strength. When I grow up, I want to be just like you. Forever and always you are my very best friend. I love you lots, Kylie Bug." From Kylie's sister, Jenna. Happy Heaventeenth, Kylie
"Four years without you is too long, Kylie Bug. I think about you every day. I think of your smile and your big bear hugs. I think of games we played and the songs we sang. I think of the conversation we had. I miss you, but still, you bring a smile to my face. Even now I can’t imagine my life without you. I love you, Little Nugget." From Kylie's sister, Kendall Happy Heaventeenth, Kylie.
"I miss you always, Kylie Bug. I miss you when I watch a movie, read a book, hear a song, or visit places that we used to love. I miss you when I watch new movies, read new books, hear new songs, and visit new places that I wish we could share. I miss you when I reflect on old memories, and I miss you when I consider the new memories that we should be making together. Four years without you seems unfathomable, but somehow, you’re still urging me to look for the light beyond the shadows. Thank you for your “joy in spite of...” and for pushing me to discover mine. 💛" From Kylie's sister, Meredith Happy “Heaventeenth" Kylie
On Sunday, February 24, Kylie will celebrate her 17th birthday. But rather than here with her family, she'll be celebrating on a heavenly stage. Last year we raised over $16,000 for childhood cancer research for her Sweet 16 and this year we’re hoping for at least $5000. Would you help us celebrate Kylie's birthday by doing two things? 1. Donate $17 on Facebook (link in bio) - every dollar raised will go toward life-saving research that we hope will allow other children to celebrate their birthdays at home with their families. 2. In keeping with Kylie's spirit, would you also go out of your way to perform an act of kindness for someone? That would make her so smiley.
Wishing all the best to Stephanie Styles in her Broadway debut tonight in Kiss Me Kate. She is an amazing actress but more importantly an incredible human being. When she was touring with Newsies, she reached out to Kylie when they stopped in Atlanta and made Kylie’s last theater experience very special. We love you, @bystyles
Thank you for commenting, sharing pictures, messaging, and texting us yesterday. We may not have been able to respond, but we got them and you helped make a terrible day a little brighter for our family. When Kylie was in treatment, her favorite food was hibachi steak (or as she called it, hispachi). We decided to order and the delivery came in these smiley face bags. What a sign from our little girl!!!! 😃
Missing your sweet smile today, Kylie. You are loved and will never be forgotten.
Just because... 4 years 😥
Another ridiculous installment of “Who wore it better”.
