Did You See Us?

Dearest Charlotte,

I wonder if you were looking through the heavenly veil today?

If you were, you would have seen us leaving flowers beside your name. They were our gift to you.

You would have seen us clearing away the leaves and sand that lay nearby, while your brothers and sisters decorated your special place. We wanted to do something for you.

You would have seen us standing quiet with no words, just with our thoughts and memories. We  always remember because you are written on our hearts.

You would have also seen us sitting around a cake with candles, singing. We were singing to you.

Today, on your 7th birthday we celebrated you! We celebrated because you are our God-given child, our daughter living in eternity. We celebrated because you are part of us, we know this separation is not for always. We celebrated because you are alive and well, completely safe and perfectly loved.
Today on April 14, we had lots to celebrate and remember.

We love you dearly and are eternally thankful for the gift of you and the impact that your life has made.

Happy 7th birthday Charlotte Rose. We do wish that we could have celebrated with you but if you saw us today, you would have known and would have seen, how very much we love you.

Until tomorrow...

"In Him we were chosen, 

having been predestined according to the plan of Him who 

works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 

in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, 

might be for the praise of His glory." 

Ephesians 1:11-12
