Measuring Months.

This is the last milestone month. From now on, we'll be measuring how long it's been since we've seen our girl in 'year' terminology. That significance is not lost on us.

Oh M, 11 months without you here, dear one, and we still ache for you. If you were here today, I imagine our lazy Sunday afternoon would look and feel much different. It would be happier, messier, louder, and considerably more pink. Yes, we ache for that, for you, our lovely baby girl. We thank God for your short life, that we get to be your mommy and daddy forever. We thank God that we will see you again someday. We wrestle with Him for the many unknowns and whys. We thank God that He is still good through this. And we thank God that we have found purposes through your death (your daddy is good about writing about those). Your life, though only in my womb, was so very loved and worthwhile to us and even moreso to God. But you know that, you are with Him now.

Grether,

I've read and reread this post for two days and I don't know what to say.... (and guessing others are right with me in this). We miss her too, miss her with you, miss her for you. Just really miss Maelee. So glad you're counting God's goodness in the midst of your missing her.

Sending you lots of love, and sending up lots of prayers for you all...
