Please Hug my Baby for Me

God,

 I know you are busy, 
But I thought I would see,
If you would please do this one tiny favor for me?

 Today I am feeling so much love,
For that little bundle of joy of mine up above.
I was hoping I could ask you for something simple and sweet.
I was hoping you would give my baby a hug for me. 

 Not just any old hug will do.
It'll be an extra special one from me through you.
I can't think of anyone better for this job.
Than her Heavenly Father who has held her all along.

 Will you please wrap your arms around her,
And squeeze her oh so tight?
And tell her that her mama loves her with all her might.
Will you please hold her close for a moment or two?
Just like her mother would love to do?
Will you please give her a kiss on her rosy red cheek?
And tell her that it's full of love from her daddy and me?

 I have this feeling embedded in my soul.
One only a mother who lost her child is sure to know.
It's a feeling that stands the test of time.
So, if it's not to much to ask, 
Will you please hug that baby of mine?

I don't usually write poems, but these words flooded my heart this afternoon.  I don't know who it is that is hurting right now, but I want you to know you are not alone.  Even though it has been some
time since we lost our little angel, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her.  I still shed tears because we wanted her so badly.  Today has been one of those days where I would give anything to be able to hold our little angel.  Somehow, today, these words have brought me joy.  They have brought me peace.  But mostly, these words have reminded me that though I am not there, God is.  And that is enough for me.

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessings, I am a mom of two.  I am also thi

A Letter to my Boys

Cody and Owen, If I could give you any kind of advice it would be to just live.  Live your lives to the fullest.  Don't be afraid to go on new adventures.  Travel the world.  Don't be afraid to experience new things.  Meet new people.  Try new foods-at least once.  Do not ever be okay with the status quo.  Take risks.  Dream bigger.  When you are told no, don't let it defeat you.  Let it drive you.  Never lose that drive to become better men.  You only get one shot at this life, don't waste a single minute of it. Most importantly though, have a heart that loves God.  Put Him first above all else.  Live a life that honors Him.  He will watch over your coming and going. Because one day, you will leave home to forge your own way in this world.  At times, it will seem big and scary.  He will be your protector.  He will guide you along the paths you are to walk down.  Remember to be still and listen for His voice.  Consult Him on every decision.  No matter how big or

It’s hard to believe that this will be the second Christmas without my boys in it.  But even in their absence, they will still be here in memory and carried throughout the day in my heart.  Ever since this parental alienation journey began, it’s been my goal to still celebrate them and keep up with the traditions I’ve always done; even if they wouldn’t be here to see it.  Their stockings are hung, their picture with Santa has been placed on the top of the piano and their artwork from preschool have been displayed.  All in attempt to keep them alive and present with us all.   Boys, we may not be together, but I am always here.  I pray that your Christmas is filled with unspeakable joy and love as you move into the New Year.  I am praying big things over your lives and future, and I need you to know that you are loved, you are wanted and we will never give up on you.
