Gone But Never Forgotten
Dear Samantha Michelle,
It’s been three years since you grew your wings and I don’t miss you any less. Although we never met, it is impossible to believe how well I knew you. I knew that you loved chicken sandwiches and hated fish. I knew that you loved ice cold milk and hot tea. And more importantly, I knew that I loved you.
As I prepare to welcome your little sister into the world, I can’t help but feel sorry that she will never have a chance to get to know you. But, deep down inside, I know that you have been keeping a watchful eye on and a protecive embrace around her. I know that no matter how difficult this pregnancy becomes, you are making sure that everything will be OK. I am grateful to have such a special connection up there.
You know, 19.5 weeks was a lifetime for me, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted so much more. I wanted forever, but I realize now that forever must take place in my heart. That is where you are- forever in my heart. You are loved. You are missed. And you will always be my baby girl.
With Love,
Your Mommy
In Loving Memory of
Samantha Michelle
