📖 Page 1: The Birthday Princess

Once upon a time, in a little town filled with laughter and love, a very special girl named Nia Renae (a.k.a. The Squish/Squishy) turned six years old! That’s two whole hands with one pinky left to wiggle. She woke up beaming, ready for a day of fun and adventure, games, and especially pizza.

The party was at Chuck E. Cheese, where colorful lights blinked, games buzzed, and the smell of melted cheese floated in the air like a yummy cloud. Squishy bulldozed through the doors (and if you know The Squish...well, IYKYK), her heart bouncing with excitement, her giggles and screams bellowing from that little baby gut, all gas and no brakes!

She was READY!!

Her very best friend Destinee was there, and the two continued their unbroken streak of dressing like twins yet again.

Cousin Levi came too, zooming in with his appetite for fun and a grin from ear to ear, except on the simulated roller coaster ride - it was a safety first, of course. 😏

Her big sister MiMi crowned Nia the “Birthday Princess,” while MiMi’s best friend Hazel Wazel joined in the fun—though everyone knows Hazel is really her best friend, not MiMi’s! 😂🙊

They raced from game to game, tickets spilling out of machines like magic confetti. Pizza disappeared as fast as it hit the table (no, seriously), and fizzy drinks made everyone giggle with burps and laughter.

“Oh my goodness you guys!” Squishy squealed as she opened gift after gift: lots of fabulous new clothes, new dolls, an Etch-a-Sketch, and a robot kitty she hugged tightly. “I made out like a bandit!” she declared, making everyone laugh.

Even though there was laughter and celebration, every heart in the room felt a little heavy. We all missed someone very, very special—Ana. It's been a year since she went to heaven, but her love filled the room like warm sunlight.

When we look at Nia, we see Ana's smile, her spark, her beauty. Squish is her mama’s twin, and that brought comfort to every heart.

This wasn’t just a birthday party—it was a celebration of life, love, and the legacy of a beautiful woman who lives on through her daughters. That Saturday night, as Squishy hugged her new baby doll and waved goodbye to her TeTe, she whispered softly, “Thank you for my birthday. I wish Mama could come play too. I love you, Mama."

Somewhere beyond the stars, her Mama smiled and whispered back, “I love you too, buddy.”

And so, Squishy's sixth birthday was filled with laughter, pizza, gifts, and love that stretched all the way to heaven. The party was over, but the love and memories will last forever.
