Gone, Never Forgotten

There is such a hole in our lives right now knowing that Therese is gone. It's so amazing that from the moment we knew of her existence, we started to love her. That is why I find abortion so horrible and incomprehensible. I can't imagine hating the life inside.

We will never be able to hold her, kiss her, cuddle her now. We grieve for our loss, not hers. She is in a safe and happy place. We know that she will never know suffering.

Dear Little Girl,
we miss you so much. I know that Benedict would have been a good, protective older brother for you. We would have done everything in our power to care for you and keep you safe. Our hearts are breaking knowing that we won't be able to see you until we make it to heaven, but we trust that you are in the best of hands. Please pray for us now. You are so close to God that I'm sure He will listen to you. Pray for Benedict that he be a strong and virtuous boy. Pray for Daddy that he will be a good protector and provider for the family. And pray for Mommy that she can bear any crosses that come her way with patience and acceptance. I love you, my baby. Thank you for blessing our lives for those short weeks. Thank you for reminding us of what is important. Thank you for giving us something to be happy about. I will always miss and love you, Therese.
