A letter to Faith

I might decide to read this at her memorial..will see how I feel then.

My dearest Faith,

It's been 1 week and 3 days since you've been gone. I miss you so much! Ever since you left, my nights have been really quiet without your mini gymanstics. If I could have just one wish, I would wish God would let us have a day together. We could do things we did before you left - like reading together, or even sharing a bar of chocolate.

It's really different now that you're not here in my tummy anymore. Reading aloud to nobody in particular feels dumb. Your brother loves to read his picture books, but can hardly sit still to listen to mommy read. Everytime I take a meal, I miss your stretching and moving, as you always did.

I know you're having lots of fun up there in heaven. Jesus made you whole again when he took you home. It takes longer for mommy and daddy to heal, but we are glad that at least you recovered. Jesus has been helping us a lot with our emotional healing.

Thinking about you makes mommy cry. Not because I'm sad, but because I miss you. My heart breaks into a million pieces because I miss you so much. Mommy likes to think of you as an angel born into our lives. Jesus had a vacancy for an angel, and he chose you to be one.

Enjoy yourself in heaven, darling. Mommy and Daddy look forward to be reunited with you again when Jesus calls us all home. Till then, remember that you are my special angel and I love you.
