We want to thank you for all of the messages, emails, cards, and hugs as we continue to walk through this journey of grief and healing – especially in remembering our babies birthdate. Each one of them has brought much comfort and peace, knowing we do not walk alone.
Getting away last Friday was what we needed. Someone told us recently that we will always miss them, but time does bring healing as well – we are a testament to that. I feel God has brought much healing in our lives over the past 8-9 months.What a blessing! Though there will still be difficult days, we know that God is holding us in His hands and wrapping us in His arms. We are not only feeling the love physically, but also in our hearts.
Someone sent me this poem in a message and I asked my friend if I could share it because the words were so beautiful!
The world may never notice if a rosebud doesn’t bloom
or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon
but every life
that ever forms or ever comes to be
touches the world in some small way for all eternity
the little one we
longed for
was swiftly here
and gone
but the love that was then planted
is a light that still shines on
and though our arms are empty
our hearts know what to do
every beating of our heart says,
We feel our babies have touch our world in large and small ways – forever. They are living forever! The love we have for them still shines on – it always will.
Here are some flowers that we were given last week in remembrance of Mother’s Day and also our babies. We are so thankful for a “family” here who loves and cares for us so deeply. We feel so blessed. Praising God for His provision in our lives!
