Dear Miss Poppy,
There is so much I want to say to you.
In the four and a half weeks we had you, you have taught me to love in a whole new way of loving. Little one, your daddy and I adore you. We will forever treasure those four weeks we had with you.
Seeing how much your daddy loved you, made me fall more in love with him.
You may wonder how we came up with your name. Baby girl, we gave you that name when we first found out that you had made us parents. you were just barely the size of a poppy seed and right then, daddy started talking to you, kissing you, making sure you knew he loved you, and was praying for you. He would text or call me when he was away at work, working hard to provide for you and I, and would ask me how you were doing.
Before we had confirmed that you were in existence, you started to give us little signs you were alive and there. Every forty minutes, like clock work, I would need to eat. I practically ate us out of our house. your daddy was pretty impressed with how much I could pack down for you. Every afternoon, I would take a nap, and I never nap. But guess what, every night at 9pm, no matter where I was, it was time for me to sleep again.
We don't know why, but Jesus decided to take you home in the early Sunday morning hours. We trust and fully believe that the Lord has done it for a reason and according to His plan, for our good.
But sweetie, we miss you. You impacted our lives more than anything ever has before. You made us parents. And that's never changing. Whether or not we ever get to hold your sibling(s). You are the one that first made us parents.
You and I are blessed with an absolutely amazing daddy and husband. Even now, he is loving, caring and sacrificially serving me as we go through grieving your loss. He keeps reminding me that you are safe in the arms of Jesus, the One who loves you more than he or I could ever love you.
Poppy, we look forward to meeting you in Heaven.
We love you.

Oh, Lenna, I am so sad for you, dear Mama. My heart breaks in remembering the little souls we lost, too. You will never forget Poppy, and the Lord will keep her close until you see her again in perfection! Praying for you all now.
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping you and Peter in my prayers, Lenna! Praising God for the miracle of Poppy and requesting comfort as you both grieve her not being with you. Much love.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about little Poppy. We will be praying for y'all!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Grace
Praying for you both. With love, Isabel
