Default Dear Baby Turner

Hey Guys I am not sure if this is the right place to put this or not. If its in the wrong place then please move it. This is a letter I wrote to help deal with my recent miscarriage and I figured I would share it with you guys because someone might be going with the same thing

My beautiful little angel,
One week before Fathers day, your daddy and I saw something for the first time in 2 years. We saw a positive pregnancy test. For one beautiful week life was bliss. We were so happy at the thought of your arrival. You were an answer to a long prayed prayer. For that one beautiful week my darling child, you were mine. Your daddy wrapped his arms around us every night as for the first time Mommy and Daddy talked about names and nurseries.

Sadly then 2 days after Fathers day our wonderful Lord above decided you needed to be with him. I will never be sure why He decided to hold you in his arms instead of let us hold you in ours. That was a sad day in the Turner home.

At first it made me sad. Then I was angry. I didn't understand why so many people could have babies that would never be loved at cherished as you would have been. I couldn't see how it was fair. So many babies everyday are neglected and abused or even aborted.

Then, my little baby, I realized this. Even though we only had you for a short time you were still ours. Even though it was a short time, you were still there. Mommy and Daddy now know that its possible, something we were never sure of before.

I will always think of you my little one. In this darkness you will now always give me hope. No matter what you will always be my miracle. I take comfort in knowing that even though my arms are not wrapped around you, the Blessed Mother holds you tight.

I love you always little one. Hug Jesus extra tight for me
love
Mommy

This is very beautiful, thank you so much for sharing. I have four little ones in heaven and have experienced very intense grief. After my first loss I was reluctant to embrace subseqent pregnancies but then something changed. Like you said you enjoyed it and embraced it! Even though I knew I was a huge risk for miscarriage I embraced it. I dreamed about baby names, rubbed by abdomen and sang songs....I told myself I was going to enjoy every last minute with my precious little one.

You are not alone, many people have suffered your loss and I can assure you of the prayers of many because of your post. I also think many others will find comfort in your words, I know I did. Thank you and blessings.
