It's been two months and it feels like yesterday

My Evangeline, it has been two months since we said goodbye. The memory of meeting you face to face is so vivid. Surrounded by our entire family, I was able to see the energetic little girl that was kicking around in my belly. I was humbled to hold the strong baby that survived labor against all odds. Your strength in heart and spirit completely melted my heart. I was given the opportunity to meet you and I could not be more thankful. We were all surprised at how long you were! Not sure where you were hiding my baby. I immediately noticed your hands. You had the Mendoza hands, small palms and long fingers. I was also shocked to see that you had my exact lips, chin and cheeks. I don't know why I did not expect that but I am honored. We all adore your little button nose. I couldn't kiss it enough. In all of the excitement I am glad that I remembered to give you an Eskimo kiss too. We took advantage of the time that we had together and wanted you to feel all of the love that we have for you. It is my prayer that you felt that love and that you felt safe. Baptizing you was a God send. I was given the opportunity to fulfill my promise to God and for that I am incredibly thankful. I have no doubt that he came to get you after that. It has been incredibly hard to let you go. I miss your kicks. I miss feeling your weight. I miss giving you kisses. I miss seeing your face. I will treasure the moments I spent with you for the rest of my life. Until we meet again my baby. Your Mama
