Letter to My Child

This past week was not easy. March 10th,2013 would have been your due date. I have been waiting for this day with a lump in my throat and a hole in my heart. I knew I wanted to make this time special for you and show you how much you mean to me, but I wasn't sure how to go about doing that. So, I did the best thing I could. I will show you my love in pictures.

Here you are. The very first time we laid eyes on you. We called you Baby Bean.

This is your house. It's not much, but it is filled with love.

This is your family. P.S. Your big brother talks about you all the time.

Here is your bed, Daddy made this for you and your brother.

This is the book I was meant to read to you every night. I love you to the moon and back.

                 

This is the song I sang to you while you were in my belly.

                                             

Words that helped Mommy find strength and peace.

I wrote your story in my own words. 

A charm that lay close to my heart, always reminded me of you.

On what would have been your birthday, we lit a candle for you and a dear friend brought us flowers.

                             

We walked out to the Dogwood tree we planted for you to bring you a present.

I have no doubt you are beautiful. I know that you are with people that love you and they can take care of you until I get to meet you someday. I know that you send me signs and guide me in the right direction. Through you, I am becoming a better person. I am forever thankful to have had you for just a moment in the belly. You have left a hand print on my heart.

You will have two homes. One with us and one in Heaven. I love you baby girl.
