Heaven will mean more to you now- your dearest treasure is there. "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21). He takes from the family here to form a family there. Baby hands are beckoning to you, and a baby voice is calling you home.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of sadness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief.....and unspeakable love.
Washington Irving

Dear Sweet Girl,
Mommy misses you. I sometimes wonder how I can still miss you and Drew so much. You've been gone longer than I had you, why do my arms still ache, my heart still break? It has been a hard week, that lump in my throat, always at the mention of your name. I wonder if people know how hard it still is for me and daddy? I wonder if they know how sad we still are? "This too shall pass" is what GG used to say. I don't think it will, I don't think I'll ever not miss you with every ounce of my being. So when you see GG, can you mention that I'm still waiting?
I tell Cam that I love him more than he will ever know. Every time I tell him that I think of you, because now you know. You and Drew know how much I love you.
I keep finding Rose's stuff. First her shoe, then her hair bow and now her ribbon. Thanks McKenna, it is always just when mommy needs it.
We know you are working hard up there honey. You and God have some big things going on. We can't wait to see the blessings that you will have had your cute little hand on, picking just the right little brother or sister for Cam.
I can't wait to see you again......
Mommy
