Tomorrow was Gabriel's due date...I was thinking that the actual day probably wouldn't be any worse than any other day, but his due date carries with it the memory of what should have been. I can't help but think that this should be the most joyful time of my life...but here I sit with my baby in heaven and I'm broken hearted.
Dear Gabriel,
I wish that I knew for sure that you could hear me because that would give me some peace. I just hope that you didn't leave this world and never knew how much I loved you...and continue to love you each day. You will never ever be forgotten baby boy...you have an earthly mother and father that love you beyond words. The short time that we had with you was by far the most precious gift that I have ever been given and I hold on to those memories with everything that I have. I hope that you felt our love in the womb and hope that you can feel our love even now.
We miss you sweet boy and hope to meet your precious soul in heaven one day...until then my heart beats for you!
Love,
Your mommy
Laura,
ReplyDeleteI have read every word that you've written. I will remember Gabriel tomorrow on his due date, and will stay committed in prayer for you and Tom. God weaves even the darkest of strands into a beautiful tapestry, and He does nothing in vain. Nothing. I am familiar with death, and am grieving also.
Love,
Lily's old dog-sitter,
