What's this about?

I am Shannon and my husband is Chris. This is a place to share and process struggles related to miscarriages, eating disorders, and Shannon's struggle with sexual abuse. We have found that joy, exempt of Christ, is often bittersweet in this life. We look forward to heaven where sweetness will abound and bitterness will be gone.

A Letter to Samantha

Samantha,

Hi, honey....Mommy knows that you are in heaven and that you now live with Jesus. What I'd want to tell you if I could that your Mommy and Daddy and all of your extended family miss you so much. Isabelle and Annabelle will never get to know you and for that I'm sad. When I cry, they lay with me. They also like to lay amidst your things on our living room coffee table. I would also want to tell you that you are a beautiful child of God. I'm also so glad that you have escaped some of the hardships of this life. But I would also tell you that I miss you so much, that at some times, my heart hurts so badly I think that I will die. And that is simply because I love you. Baby, you're mine...and someday we will be together. I would also tell you that I wouldn't trade our short time together for anything in the world. I'd do it all again, even knowing the pain...Because love is always greater.

I love you so much. Squeeze Jesus for me. He's my best friend too. For me, it feels like forever until I'll see you but from heaven's side, it will be in the blink of an eye. We'll be together soon. Love you, baby girl.

Love,
Mommy
