A Letter to my Daughter

Sweet Baby Girl,

Mommy already loves you so very much! Daddy and I wanted you so badly. You were not an accident or mistake. We are so grateful for you! Everything about you is absolutely perfect! Mommy wanted a little girl and now I have one - a perfect daughter!

You are an angel sent to us briefly. I'm not completely sure what the full impact your short presence has in our lives but I know that you have left a large footprint in your momma's heart. Our lives would not be the same without you.

I would give anything to hold you in my arms so that I could tell you just how much I love you. I hope you know! I think you are the bravest and strongest baby. You are fighting so hard to stay alive.

Mommy wants you to know, you don't have to fight anymore. Heaven waits for you! You have a very special brother/sister already waiting for you.

While I hate to say goodbye, I know that your life on earth will be full of suffering. I don't want you to suffer. This is not goodbye forever. I will see you one day and be able to hold you in my arms. You can introduce me to your brother/sister!

No matter what, mommy and daddy are so blessed by you. We are so grateful to be your parents. We will tell your big brother, Gavin, and your twin all about you and your amazing strength.

We will never forget you and how special you are.

I love you always,

Your proud mommy
