saying goodbye

For our baby that is dancing at the feet of Jesus after a short six week visit to earth

Dear little baby,
We had so wished to know you...to touch you...to hold you. And we had to say goodbye too soon.
But let Jesus hold you, until we join with you.
It was a privilege to have your heart beating under my own and I treasure the days of knowing about you. We will never see your face here on earth but it gives us comfort and peace to know that heaven will be the only home you know.

Goodbye...until we meet again...my sweet baby.

Love,
Mommy

These are the lyrics to the song that is playing: Glory Baby by Watermark

Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you…
Until we’re home with you…

Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there’s a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You’ll kiss our tears away
When we’re home to stay
Can’t wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
‘till mom and dad can hold you…
You’ll just have heaven before we do
You’ll just have heaven before we do

Sweet little babies, it’s hard to
understand it ‘cause we’re hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we’re stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…

BRIDGE:
I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it’s all you’ll ever know…all you’ll ever know…

  4. I am so sorry to hear about your loss... I sure do wish I had your talent for the photography though. How many pictures do you have to take to get those with this age children? I am very jealous! Will keep checking in and will keep you and your family in our prayers!
