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?

 -Kelli


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 blessin...

Joy in the Face Of

Living with joy in the face of… I didn’t just wake up with joy one day.  I couldn’t feel it and I didn’t want it.  All I wanted was what my heart wanted and that’s all I could see.  The truth is, living with joy in the face of seems almost impossible, right; at least when you’re in the thick of it.  That is what I thought when this parental alienation started.  When I went from being able to speak to my children and hold them in my arms to nothing, I thought this was what would break me and snuff out my light.   But here I am, twenty-one months later, and I’m living with joy in the face of.  What I didn’t know in the beginning of it all was that the pain I felt combined with the joy I would soon allow to consume me, would work together in a way that even I can’t fathom just yet.  The two, would catapult my faith to a place it needed to go in order to see a perspective I couldn’t yet see.   The pain and joy working together trans...

Reflection—I’ve been on a journey through it lately.  Of moments gone, of things I wish I would have; of wondering how despite the… Reflection always teaches me something about life.  It teaches me something I may have overlooked or maybe refused to acknowledge in the face of.  It helps me to see things in a way I need to in order to clearly see. Reflecting has a funny way of showing me what is when what I’m looking at is upside down and maybe a little blurry.  Almost always pointing back to the direction of my thinking in the face of, and what I can change for what’s to come.   I’m thankful for what a little reflection can do for me.  Taking the blurry parts and making them crystal clear.  God always shows up in moments I least expect—but in moments when He knows I’ll hear him the loudest.  It’s in the middle of all the blurry parts of life, I need a little perspective.  And today, it took the dead of winter and an ice storm to ...
