I love you, my precious baby girl.
February 13, 1998... One of the hardest days of my life, but also one of the sweetest. You were born still to me on Earth, but born alive into the loving arms of Jesus.
Sara, you are thought of and talked about all the time. Your brothers, sisters, and I all know that we will be reunited in Heaven, and we talk about meeting you, and recognizing you immediately! What a glorious day that will be!
Valentine's Days have been bittersweet since you came into my life. Today I will put a vase of beautiful flowers on the table in your honor. That's all I can do right now... but honoring your memory and your life as a gift from God is foremost on my heart today.
My heart rests knowing where you are and who you are with. I'm listening for that trumpet sound, it won't be long now... and then I will be able to tell you once again how much I love you.
I treasure this poem written by Linda Parker. The Lord gave her these words on the morning of your Memorial Service.
Mom
A Hug or Two
What can one say to comfort a loss so deep?
A life given in love, now fallen asleep.
Who can know the sorrow or pain
Of losing a little one before she came?
How do we come to say goodbye
To one who put a star in our eye?
Thinking of the love we would share
With the little one God put in our care?
Dear Father in Heaven, abounding in love
We look to you for grace from above.
Give us a glimpse of Heaven where she
Will laugh with joy on Your Holy Knee.
Help us in time to entrust back to You
This precious baby we have loved true.
In Heaven she'll have no tears to cry
Knowing she is the apple of her Father's eye.
To your arms of unending love
Our little one has flown free as a dove.
We wait for the day, You'll call us Home too
For she will be waiting for a hug or two.

a life so precious that God chose not to let her suffer a single moment on this earth with what (we)life has to dish out.
But yet she was allowed to be completely whole, and nurished for 9 months by a mother who loves like no other can. A love so complete and timeless. That love could be no greater even over time than it was on that day, and is this day.
Happy Birthday Sara
