Happy Birthday Avery and Sophie!

It's hard to believe that today you are celebrating your third birthday in heaven. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, of what you would look like now, what you would be doing, what kind of personalities you would have, what kind of big sisters you would be to your little brother Kai. Two years ago I wrote this poem and it is still true today.

You are loved and remembered
today and every day.

We never got to hold you,
to feel your soft baby cheeks,
to marvel at your little fingers and toes,
but still you have left your footprints on our lives.

You have captured our hearts
given us a new longing for heaven
and reminded us that life is precious.

Every life,
no matter how long or how short,
no matter how perfect or imperfect from the world's point of view,
from conception on,
every life is precious.

So today I remember you,
Matt and Heather's precious little girls,
Sophie and Avery,
Forever in our hearts.

You are loved and missed today and always Avery and Sophie!

Having walked the path alongside of you ... I have seen the ache and the longing to hold these precious girls in your arms. May God continue to comfort and bring healing, as you see Him holding them until that day. I'm so sorry for you loss here on earth.
My word verification says aeverse ... okay... no eye has seen, no ear has heard, the things God has prepared ...
