2013 was a year of great happiness and pain for me. I lost my baby girl at 23 weeks gestation. As a source of healing I decided to write letters to her as I went through the healing process. I hope that in some way this can help others as well.

I wasn't cheated..... I was blessed
Sometimes I forget of the blessing that I received. I am so consumed with grief and longing, that I get caught in self pity. I get wrapped up and what I don't have instead of remembering what I do have. I don't want to live my life wishing I had more. I constantly ask God for forgiveness because I feel like I am being ungrateful for what he gave me. I prayed for him to send me an angel and he did. I prayed for him to give me more time with her and he did. How could I forget the treasure that he gave me? I don't like the person that I am sometimes. This road has been so rough that it side swipes me into darkness. I am very grateful for my angel. I was extremely happy during my time with her. I was able to see her grow, move, tease the nurse and doctors and feel her kicks. I was able to make a connection with her and I know she felt me. I was able to see her captivate my family and then sleep like the angel that she is. What more could I ask for? I was not cheated out of life, I was blessed. Remembering this is easier said then done. I will have to keep reading this over and over as I get through my grief. But I will make this effort because Evangeline is worth it.
