Tomorrow.
Yep. That day. Two years ago...
The day we lost our second child, our Angel.
I think about it now - that day - without tears. Just a terrible longing for what might have been...
Who would he/she have been? What about the personality? Would he/she have had hair like Hannah or be bald until the age of two like Beth?
That day changed me. Not really in a good or bad way. I'm just different. Losing what I expected to be mine... getting terribly sick with the flu days after... I'd never been so scared in my life! I realized how frail I really was...
But then, I realized how great my God is too. I've met some wonderful ladies I wouldn't have otherwise met without the loss. I'm much more sensitive to those who go through something like this. I was not as sensitive before. God has brought good things out of the bad.
In honor of my Angel, I did a couple things. First, I bought a candle from Audrey's Little Light. She did a great job on it! It has forget-me-nots!! :-) I'll light it tomorrow, in remembrance, and post a pic.
I had my dear friend at Blessed, Not Crazy create some great pics of Angel's name with all our names on a Scrabble board. I love these! Cute idea!! I'll post those tomorrow too.
And then, I registered for the annual Zoe Rose Memorial Foundation's remembrance celebration on October 13th. They'll light a candle for our Angel that day.
My heart gets heavy this time of year. Again, for what might have been...
Angel, mommy misses you. I REALLY do. I look forward to meeting you in heaven one day and praising our savior together. Love you!
Thinking of you as you remember your sweet angel baby. It does help to believe we'll see them again someday, doesn't it? Hugs to you Jamie!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and Angel, my friend. I will never forget your Angel as long as I live! That little one touched my heart all the way from Heaven! My heart too is very heavy this time of year as it is also Micah's angelversary. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your friendship and prayers over these last two years. They have meant so very much to me.

ReplyDeleteAugust sucks :( But I can't believe it's been 2 years, I like to look back on everyone's blogs and see how amazingly far we've come. God is good, getting so many of us through so much heartache!
