On this day, 3 years ago, we said hello and goodbye to our precious firstborn daughter, Caroline Elizabeth. She was born at 7:27pm and weighed 6lbs 11oz and was 21 inches long. She was a whole person, complete. She was perfection. With long legs, piano-player fingers, a perfect mouth and nose...amazing. She was everything I ever dreamed of and so much more, except we didn't get to keep her.
I still miss her. Ache for her. Crave her.
I'm thankful for the promise that I'll be with her again one day. I have so much I want to say to her, so many hugs and kisses to catch up on. One day...
Happy birthday, sweet baby Caroline. I love you today, tomorrow, forever.
These are the sweet flowers placed on the altar at my parents' church this morning in her memory.
Love to you and happy birthday Caroline xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers. Lovely Caroline. Lovely family. Will forever wish you got to keep her, too.
ReplyDeleteTotally perfect and totally unfair. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your sweet girl today. I know the pain that your heart carries. Our Caroline's should be here with us today. Prayers that God continually gentles the ache.
