We haven’t forgotten you, little girl.
Monday, November 5, is the one-year mark of when Beth and I lost our little girl a couple weeks after conception. We miss her today still, but we know she’s in good hands. These are two songs that help me when I think of her. I know Beth loved “Glory Baby” before we were married. I remember her telling me how sad it made her to think of the loss the couple who wrote the song had. “I hope that never happens to me.” There’s one line in the song that gets me each time. When I think of our loss and the pain it brought. This line reminds me it’s ok. “Heaven is your home, and it’s all you’l ever know…” My daughter will never experience hurt, sadness, disappointment, and the list goes on. All she will ever know is the perfect life intended for her at Christ’s feet.
