Remember

I will always remember this day with a thrill, and tears.....
On February 28th, in the morning, I heard for the first time
"It's a girl"....
it was spoken with longing.
On February 28th I held my daughter for the first time,
and the last time.
On February 28th I named my daughter,
and then said, "Good-bye, Ellie Rene".

I have thought of you and prayed so often since last year,I was new to your blog then and felt such deep sadness as if I knew you personally.
I know that God brings us all together for reasons... so just know that you have touched many lives and that Ellie Rene has too.

Know that in this moment, and many many others, I am lifting you up in prayer.

Dear Father, hold this aching mother so very close. Carry her heavy burden. Give her grace to face each day. Help her find the strength to keep moving forward. Bless her heart as it mourns. In Jesus' name.

I am so, so sorry.

What a beautiful girl Ellie Rene is. Such perfect tiny feet...so beautiful.

We do wait, impatiently, to hold them again and never be separated for all of eternity.

...may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalms 19:4
