Wow. How fast time surely does go. I never believed it when everybody told me, "Kids grow up so fast, cherish every moment!" Well, I do just that. I cherish the moments Kayli sits on my lap as we watch Dora together in the morning and she eats her cup of cheerios and drinks her sippy cup with milk...I cherish the moments I am awake with her at night and she falls asleep in my arms. She's so busy that moments like that don't happen too often any more.
As I look into the future I can't hardly believe that February is just a mere 3 months away. If all had gone well during our past pregnancy, in 3 months we would be holding our second addition to the family, another little girl. While my heart still aches in wanting to hold her just one time, no matter how "imperfect" she may have been, she would've been perfect in my eyes, and I can't wait for the day I will get to see her in Heaven.
Every day I see people posting a status about one thing they are thankful for each day. I thought about doing the same, but instead I just decided I would write...
I am thankful for wonderful family and friends we can create wonderful memories with...A great Church to be a member of, a job, freedom, my list could go on and on!
But especially this...
I am thankful that God has blessed me with a wonderful husband to provide for our family. He is hard working and the best husband I could ask for. He is such a wonderful Daddy to our precious little girl. Without him I wouldn't have been able to make it through the past few months. As hard as the past few months have been on us, we have had an overwhelming amount of support and prayers from family, and friends, some that we hardly talk to. ...As hard as it is for me to say this; I am thankful that God took our little girls life when He did. She will never have to suffer a day here on earth. It's just been another "one of those days" where I miss her so much. I wish I was still able to feel her little kicks and punches. It could've happened sooner and that may have been easier for us to deal with, but I thank God that I was able to feel her kicks while I could and buld a connection with her. As hard as some days get, I KNOW she is perfect and in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father! ...and for that, I am thankful!
