To Baby with Love

It must take a really hard-hearted person to not be touched by a pre-born baby. I just got a call this morning from my son and his wife. They went for their first ultrasound..and their last. They were told that the baby was not there any longer. That little spark of life was put out, and even though baby was not yet born, it breaks our hearts to know we will not see Baby until we are called to Heaven. I cried, I could hear the tears in my son's voice...his sister cried. When her 4 year old son asked why is mommy sad, we told him the baby in Aunt Kami's tummy went to be with Jesus early. He was sad, and wanted to know why that new baby was not coming here first. We told him maybe Baby was very sick or hurt and Jesus wanted to make him better right away. We have only known about Baby for maybe 4-5 weeks, but Baby was already a part of our family. Wyatt's mommy told him about the baby brother she never met, and then told Wyatt that he was with Baby right now in heaven, waiting for us. I guess sometimes popcorn doesn't pop, no matter how well it is packaged, protected and kept. But that doesn't make it any less popcorn. Baby will be a part of our family into eternity. We will miss you here, Baby, but we look forward to meeting you, Baby. We know you are in the best Hands that could hold you.

Musings

This is the best bowl of popcorn anyone could have. Smiles just come to my face when I see the flavors that God has given to my grandchildren.
Sweetness, innocence, laughter, trust, kindness, thoughtfulness and individuality. There is nothing like an unexpected hug or kiss that is followed by an "I love you" given by one of these precious children.
They are the joy of my life, a gift from God like no other. I thank Him constantly for allowing me to be a part of their lives.
