(I wrote this the night I realized that we were miscarrying, but wanted to wait to share until we knew for sure.)
Mommy does not know why God chose to take you so soon. Tonight I am saying goodbye to you my love, my sweet little babe. I so wanted to hold you and nurse you and snuggle with you one day. I wanted to watch you grow and smile and laugh and walk. It's going to be hard to tell your brothers and sisters that you are in Heaven, they will be sad, they were so excited to watch mommy's tummy grow and to have a new baby brother or sister.
Life is so hard to understand at times, why is it so short for some and so long for others? I'm just so glad that you are with Jesus, and that you are able to look upon His face. You will never know sin or sadness or pain, you will never know suffering or disappointment, only the beautiful face of our Saviour. And I am so glad for that.
My heart is full of emotions right now, of sadness and loss. The one that has begun in me, your race was so short. Hold onto Jesus for me baby, ask Him to give me a hug from you. I will love you and will cherish you in my heart all the days of my life. And one day I will see your sweet face in Heaven. Until then my love.
Your Mommy
Oh Jenni……………..We love you
Jenni,
How beautifully said. I will be praying for you as you mourn your lost little one and also be praying that you will recover quickly from your loss.
Love in Christ,

You express your heart so well…and you even say the most important of things…that your little one will be in the presence of Jesus…you make me cry! God bless you both. I am sorry you didn’t get to spend more time with him/her.
I’m so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful letter though. My grief also gave some beautiful writing. If you ever want to talk about it, I’m here.
Jenni, My heart goes out to you… I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your heart and the beautiful letter. Your postings from your last loss helped me in some way to know I wasn’t alone and to know that it is possible to make it through when I experienced my loss in January… so know that even though you’re going through such a hard thing you are encouraging to more people than you know! I am thinking of and praying for you and that God will continue to fill you with his peace during this hard time. Sending big hugs your way…
I loved your letter, but so sorry you had to write it. So sorry for your loss.
