I can't believe you are already 7 years old. You bring such joy and sunshine to our lives! Whenever you are around there is always something happening. Music, laughter, dancing, LIFE just seem to radiate from you. The doctor was amazed when you were born because you did something many babies do not do. While your body was face down as most births are, your face was looking up at him when you emerged. That's my girl...it's only fitting because that is just your personality. You are always looking up! As we made the short drive home from the hospital a song was playing on the radio by Nicole C. Mullins "I Know My Redeemer Lives." Once again it was only fitting. When He gave me you it was a gift that proved His love. You were a miracle to us. You are a miracle to us. I can not imagine my life without you. Your Mama loves you!! Happy Birthday, my precious girl!
Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th...
Happy Birthday Flower Child.
ReplyDelete"LIFE just seems to radiate from you" that couldn't be more true!!! I've never seen someone with so much energy!!! So full of life, so full of love, so full of hope, and SO FULL OF FAITH!!! I've never seen someone so trusting as Flowerchild. She prays, she leaves it with HIM, and KNOWS God will take care of it. Oh to have her faith!!!
