Dear Ginny Girl,
It’s been 7 years since I felt you wiggle in my belly and since I held you still in my arms. How I wish I could hold you again today on your birthday! Daddy, Chet, Addie, and I love and miss you so so much! You are a part of this family. By that I don’t mean that we think and talk of you often, although we do. I mean that each of us is who we are today because of you, not in small ways, but in big ways. Your presence and what you’ve left behind is woven into the fabric of our family. Our values, our memories, our perspective, and our hearts are formed with you as a part. Thank you for that!
Today we filled the house with sunflowers! We picked out a HUGE sunflower balloon that’s as tall as I am! Family sent a big beautiful bouquet and coloring books and a puzzle. Friends sent sunflower legos and books and a mug! Other friends donated in your honor, and many sent sweet messages. Addie and I made lemon cupcakes with sunflower paper and decor. We even went to the Sunflower Cafe for lunch! You are our sunflower girl and we are so proud of you.
I wish we could see how you might be celebrating your birthday in heaven. One day we will! I can’t wait! We love you!
Love,
Mama
